Tammy NYP Was the #1 search today on technorati.com. Who or what does it refer to? A girl named Tammy who attends Nan Yang Polytechnic in Singapore, and who's camera phone was stolen by a "a rival cheerleader, jealous of her popularity" who promptly uploaded a 10 minute video of her having sex. Is Tammy the next dog poop girl? The consequences could be a little worse, as the school may kick her out of school, and the average sentence for an 'unnatural sex act' is one year in jail, according to this moralizing (and oddly worded, but grammatically correct) blog entry.
There is a good deal of humor in the fact that you posted this, Paris. So....where's the video?

brundlefly, I don't see a problem with that stance. The girl is a dumbass for a) taping herself having sex, b) using a phone to do it and not making certain the video is removed from the phone and c) not making sure she maintained an iron grip on something so sensitive.
Pick any two of a,b,c and she's still a dumbass.
That being said, I'd get turned on by seeing it. It exists, it's about sex, and she apparently didn't mind being recorded at the time. Those qualities have nothing to do with her getting caught.

For those who don't know why this story has legs, there are three reasons why this is interesting to me:
1) It sheds light on the puritanical legal system of Singapore.
2) It allows for Americans and other nationalities to reflect on the puritanical nature of their own legal systems; even if the laws of other countries don't ban the same acts Singapore bans, many countries do ban concentual acts due to "nastiness."
3) Since it is the number one search term today on Technorati, it allows us to reflect upon the nature of technorati users and internet users as a whole.

Admittedly, I started downloading those clips. Then I cancelled them. Somewhere, this girl is feeling absolutely mortified right now, and possibly is in serious legal trouble, because a bunch of shits like I almost was couldn't resist a) perving at her incredibly private moment and b) adding another kick to the rumour mill. Fuck that. Fuck whoever uploaded the video, fuck whoever hosts the video, fuck whoever downloads the video, and fuck whoever talks about the video, including me.
"Well jeeze guys you just DON'T keep private videos on a phone!" Fuck you. People make that kind of mistake all the time, and the girl doesn't deserve this planetary level of embarassment, and especially not jail, because some bitch took advantage of that to fuel a petty, childish fued.

The bigger and more widely the "e-scandal", the more shame for her. *shrug* Hide behind numbers and distance (over the internet?) if you like. Sure, whether or not we talk about this video isn't actually going to have that much of an effect on her, and I don't really blame you for making the post since it's a hot topic and, hey, e-points for you.

In addition to Drexen’s excellent points the lascivious glee with which this is described is completely tasteless (as alluded to in the post title). Not merely lacking in adult sophistication, but indicative of the kind of fixation/fetishization present under sexually repressive systems.
Odd how it is that which disgusts me and not any act itself.
I remember being at a very religious wedding celebration and there being no alcohol served. No dancing either.
I didn’t complain much, just would have been nice to toast traditionally, but hey, not my wedding. Well, some guy, one of the folks from the religious community, had smuggled in some odious kind of schnapps or something and wanted to drink it with those of us who weren’t in the community.
Seemed kind of surprised when no one took him up on it.
Same kinda thing here. Exploitation seems far more common among the repressed types. Hypocrisy as well.
I haven’t downloaded it. Not that I’m not interested. Hey, some good looking young chick having sex - who isn’t turned on by that?
But given the circumstances of it, it bothers my stomach as much as the cheap illicit schnapps would.
Hmm...softcore porn and blacked out depictions of porn bother me as well.

That's easy to say now it IS all over the net. Most people just don't expect their phone contents to be spread, I'd contend. Who even knows how long the video was on there before it was snatched, or how secure she kept it? And anyway, if she made a mistake in that department, does that really warrant such an extremely invasive, personal and mean-hearted flamefest directed at her? Teenagers are sensitive about their reputations. Hers is in the gutter, in a far deeper sense than if it had been a videotape or polaroids rather than a digital file. Don't try and shift the blame for this pile-on onto her.

If I were to record my sexual escapades (trust me, you don't want it), I would not use a cellphone simply because cellphones get lost or stolen, the data is unencrypted, it could accidently be sent elsewhere, etc. Recording yourself having sex is just fine, but don't store the data in a way that a 'rival cheerleader' can pull this stupidity.
Don't leave it in your IMAP/Gmail/whatever account either. In fact, don't leave it on an internet-connected computer. Do the smart thing and burn it to CD/DVD and put that away in a safe place if you care to not show your private moments to the world.
So yeah, the rival was an asshole for posting the video. The videographer is still a dumbass for recording it and then not taking the precautions necessary to protect it.

"The videographer is still a dumbass for recording it and then not taking the precautions necessary to protect it."
Good thing none of us ever did dumbass things as kids.
Hell, I’m younger than Dubya was before he quit drinkin’. I’ve got a few years of party left in me. C’mon, just a couple of willing mefiers*, a bottle of booze a cel camera and a stick of butter, who’s with me!
*note, must agree to Contract of Wifely Expectations

Yes. Because she is the hottest thing in the market since Annabelle Chong but unlike Annabelle, Tammy isnt going to be paid!
IIRC, Annabelle Chong didn't get paid either. John T. Bowen ripped her off.

brundlefly Do you really expect teenagers to know anything about security? This is a fucking kid we're talking about here.
I don't get your point. Haven't many of the most advanced minds of the hacking/security game been teenagers. Hell, at least 80% of the people I know over 40 rely on a youngster to help them with their computer problems.
But I guess I just really get annoyed by adults who underestimate the ability of teenagers. It's been approaching a decade since I've been one, but I still remember being talked down to by people constantly underestimating what I was capable of because of my age.
Sure some teenagers are dumb/ignorant but that is because they are dumb/ignorant, not because they are teenagers and being a teenage means you can't understand 'stuff'.

It's a pretty terrible thing for this poor girl, but does it make me a heartless person that my first reaction to all of the blog coverage was the hilarious singlish?
Handphone, noe, lah.

Jezztek, I agree with you about underestimation of teenagers, but I stand by my statement. Really, the insecurity of this video was not based on the girl's technical abilities. Her computer was not hacked into. Somebody physically stole her cellphone and, well... turned it on.

In other words, she was a victim of crime.
Why are we blaming her?
If someone rapes a woman because she was too naive to walk down a safer street, is it her fault?

Y'know... I'm suddenly a little more concerned that I don't know how to transfer photos from my phone to my computer.
And glad that I haven't made enemies with any vindictive teenage girls.

In this case she recorded herself commiting a crime and then didn't secure the recording. If this recording was of her dealing drugs or spray painting walls would it still be wrong to call her a fool?

Just chiming in to counter the assholes who says she deserves it.
If someone broke into my house, stole my credit card and bank account numbers and published them online, is it my fault for not installing a better security system?

Poor girl. Unless she plans to do something with the psychotic publicity, her life is over. Singapore's too small (and small-minded) to let her move on.
