Bloggers Face Jail Time

I found this article, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10457853, which talks about two Dutch news bloggers who could face up to two-months in jail. They were caught filming under women's skirts in their attempt to blog a "warning" to the public of the concern of a transparent ceiling in their town.

Is their reason of filming inappropriately truly credible? Or better yet, who decided to allow a transparent ceiling in the first place!? Which is exactly their point of getting this issue resolved but at the same time at their own expense of possible jail time due to poor judgement of their actions. To those who are aware of this see-through structure, why wear a skirt or dress? Free show-but-no-tell? J/K.

Maybe those guys really did have good intentions in attempting to cover that story for their news blog. However, I think they should have approached the matter differently like interviewing the people in that town first to see how they feel and then ask permission to be filmed. Yet, I don't think the filming would be necessary because it's common sense to know what is expected to happen if women wearing skirts/dresses were to walk onto a transparent ceiling and the people's eyes underneathe would capture.

That's interesting. I guess some people just want to use extreme behavior to get them famous. You cannot tell.

Yeah I agree with you. You said, “However, I think they should have approached the matter differently like interviewing the people in that town first to see how they feel and then ask permission to be filmed.

A transparent ceiling is a great idea for a new age metro style restaurant, bar, club, or building. The idea sounds very poppy and fresh. However, common sense as you previously stated should come into play here. A clear ceiling may not be the best idea for a general public building or area. I believe a higher degree of proper ingenuity should be applied here. I’ve heard of bathrooms with see through mirrors or see through stalls. When the stall lock becomes engaged the stall walls change consistency and are no longer see through.

I would say the original story seems a little troubling. I question the “real” intent of the so called bloggers.
