why flickr sometimes sucks


fancy tights, originally uploaded by pinprick.

i put up a photo like this because i like my new tights. they remind me of chain link fences, and were on sale for like $5, and they make me happy. yet even with the "no pervs" and "pervs go away" tags i apply to anything foot and/or leg related, this photo still has been viewed 160 times. 160! it's not like my legs are so amazing, or you can even see much of anything (aside from baby mess) in this photo, and yet all those jackasses with feet and leg and tight fetishes are looking at my photo. the thought creeps me out. it just serves to remind me that even if the internet is amazing, world-wide, and has great potential to be a tool for education and knowledge and interaction, it will always be primarily a big old porn repository.

as a side note, i think feet as a fetish is totally passe and everyone should just find something new to dig on. the foot fetish thing is boring. i'm yawning as a i type this. pretty feet are nice, i get that, but i'm suggesting that if you are a guy with a thing for feet you cultivate a new hobby. like suicide*. or pick up a new fetish, like clown sex or over-sized underpants. be creative.

*i joke!

I get the same thing with "blood." I don't usually tag things, but anything with blood in the title or description has like 3 times the views of anything else.

People are fucking sick, man.

I think it's more of a legs/tights fetish than a foot thing.

Why would you tell people to kill themselves though? Don't you think when you're even walking around, people just look at someone's hair, eyes, legs, etc?
