Exactly! Everyone interested has seen the pictures, and from what I can gather, most don't think they're such a huge deal.
(Like me- I just don't get the rabid interest in these pictures! I mean, Kate is a pretty girl, but you can see more at just about any beach. She doesn't have anything any other woman doesn't have.
And there's thousands of photos of women who are definitely more well-endowed than Kate! So, just what is the purpose of gawking at these blurry photos?)
I think the purpose is natural curiousity and current belief that we (and I say this generally speaking) have the right to see, know and comment on everything. I mean, I realize how odd that is to say on a forum that gives us the opportunity to do just that but as a society we (again the general we) just don't value privacy anymore. We have people who will sell their souls (as well as the souls of any close family member) to be famous for 15 minutes. We have people in this very thread that think that Kate brought this on herself and by dating and marrying William she should have known that her life wasn't her own. And that she isn't nor she should ever expect to have a private moment.
But let's be honest, if Kate wanted to show her breasts to everyone why woudln't she have done so a nude beach. I assume that one can do that in certain parts of the world. It would be different if she went topless at a resort, or on a balcony in a hotel where anyone could see her. But nope, she was a private home and lets' face...from what I can see (via pics of course) there is no way in the WORLD anyone could have just noticed her takign off her top.
As you point out, there are other women who are more well endowed than Kate but let's be honest, unless something dramatically changes.....how many of them are the future Queen of England? Its all about IMO seeing the future Queen's breasts!
Frankly, I see this as a disasater for a lot of people besides Kate. The photographer must have made alot of money but I wonder if they will question if it was worth it if they are caught, made to go to jail or pay a huge fine. And than, what if the photograher is sued for pain and suffering? The Closer obviously lost some money, the Irish Star lost their financial backing, the editor was sacked (I really don't feel bad for him) and the newspaper might close ( I do feel bad for the employees). I mean, I wonder at the end of the day, was it all worth it for this people? Oh and karma, is going to get Chi magazine IMO its just a matter of time.
