Soon The Words “The Fappening” May Be Uttered In A Court Of Law

We knew that it would only be a matter of time before somebody tried to get some money out of this whole Fappening situation. According to Variety (link below), one Hollywood lawyer has removed his leather riding glove and smacked it across Google's face while uttering, "D'Artagnan!"... y'know, "how dare you talk to me like that, you!," and... smack 'em!

In a letter addressed to Google’s top brass, lawyer Marty Singer of L.A.-based law firm Lively & Singer said that Google not only has failed to expeditiously remove the images from sites including YouTube and Blogspot but also knowingly facilitated the hosting of the hacked photos.

“Google is making millions and profiting from the victimization of women,” Singer alleged in the Oct. 1 letter, sent to top Google execs including CEO Larry Page and executive chairman Eric Schmidt. “As a result of your blatantly unethical behavior, Google is exposed to significant liability and both compensatory and punitive damages that could well exceed One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000).”

Google's response is pretty fantastic. “We’ve removed tens of thousands of pictures — within hours of the requests being made — and we have closed hundreds of accounts." I picture Google saying this while slamming things around the house like a husband who's been accused of not doing any housework. "I don't pick up my dirty laundry?" (Slams laundry into a hamper) "There! I picked it up! I don't hang my coat up?" (Throws coat into closet). It goes on like this for hours.
