And to keep the public from getting bored, you need to do something more outrageous every time. > > They sat down with their publicity team and said, “What do we need to do next?” They brainstormed a bit and finally somebody said, “Why doesn’t Kanye tweet some almost nude pictures?” This appealed to Kanye’s ego as he thought of himself as a great photographer. And so, the pictures were published. You posted a long version of what I assume - He wants more attention. ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Nah, I agree with the above, not nude…just skin. > > Unless I’m seeing actual naughty bits I’m not considering it a nude Except she’s nude. Some people might consider the flesh of a bare breast a naughty bit, some hold out for the nipple. Some consider pubic hair to be a naughty bit, but some women don’t have that, so it might take seeing actual lips to make the genital region a “naughty bit.” But then do we consider the outer lips enough, or does it take actual spreading of the bits for the naughtiness to be “seen?” Forget all that. If the person is nude in a photograph, it’s a damn nude. Nude is nude, whether you can see what you consider naughty is irrelevant. ---

See, in our dimension Kim and Kanye do goofy stuff all day every day, and don’t do anything unless a camera is pointed at them. Lucky for them the cameras are on 24/7. So what are Kim and Kanye like in your dimension, that you didn’t realize this? I mean, it must be a pretty specific difference, in most dimensions Kim and Kanye aren’t famous, which makes sense. But for them to be famous on your planet yet not famous for salacious photographs is kind of weird. ---
