I might look if Erin Andrews were a guy.

I think Erin Andrews used to do some interviews for Braves games. She was cute.

It’s grainy. I didn’t watch it until just now because I never knew who she was.

But yea, she’s hot.

I don’t really care, I mean so she was seen naked. It’s not THAT big of a deal.

I think it’s pretty clear that it was taken with a cell phone.

Can you expand upon this? I was a teenage boy once and I never did anything I’d consider to be peeping Tomish behavior.

Of course I watched it. Nice bod.

So what?

Alright, now I’m more curious. What are the magic google words to get this?

Hotel rooms have also been known to have them installed backwards - I stayed at a very nice hotel in Manhattan in 1991 where the peephole was reversed. I had them fix it the next morning. No clue whether it was intentional or a screwup. I wouldn’t put it past someone to deliberately switch the unit, in general or in “honor” of a specific client.

There’s always [Screech](http://gawker.com/hollywood/dustin-diamond/dustin-diamond-sex-tape-reviewed-verdict-save-your-money-216757.php).

And yes, I looked. (I BTed it, of course, so I wasn’t out any cash.)

Well put. I feel the same way.

For anyone who wants it, there’s so much deliberate amateur porn out there, and so many movies with beautiful actresses voluntarily taking off their clothes. There’s no reason to go out and watch this illicit video.

I have the video off BT. You couldn’t even tell it was her unless someone told you first. The video quality is really poor. ESPN and Andrews probably should have taken the stance that it’s not her and sued to get her name taken off but not the video taken down. Would have made the video much less coveted if most people assumed it was a fake or an impostor.

I’m not sure if the video was taken through the peep hole or not, it certainly is filmed through a hole but you can’t tell if it’s one drilled in a wall or what. She’s basically standing naked, curling her hair in front of the dressing table and mirror. She does a couple weird little isometric exercises and checks herself out in the mirror. Nothing too outlandish, basically just a chick with an epic body fixing her hair in a hotel room.

I had reservations downloading it and would never want anyone to make a penny off something this slimy and wrong, but it’s still a knockout with a great body naked. I really like her as a sportscaster and reporter so hopefully this blows over and doesn’t get in her way at all. ESPN ought to be taken out behind the woodshed for handling it so fucking poorly.

Except it’s that same illicitness that _makes_ it appealing to a lot of people.

I didn`t mean to suggest I or most boys would actually peep into a hotel room. But you never looked up a classmate’s skirt if she wasn’t being conscientious of what she was wearing?

Or down her blouse when she bent over to help you with your chemistry homework?

All guys look. We’re hard-wired that way. 😃

I read about this the other day and went and took a look. Part of me agrees with the “this was staged” camp. The size of the hole in the wall looked to be fairly large…and as another poster mentioned, if she hadn’t confirmed that it was her, you wouldn’t have been able to tell. The quality was really crappy. She could have just denied it and nobody would have been able to prove that it was her.

Yeah, sounds like a publicity stunt to me. I’ve never heard of the girl and never in my life would have if it had not been for this thread that directed me to the “controversy”.

No idea who she is, but when I saw a story about it in the media I checked out some screen caps. Didn’t see the whole video but that was because I was at work and it didn’t look that interesting, not because of morale.

She is very well known among sports fans. It would be much simpler to do a Maxim or Playboy spread. She would have no trouble getting either.
