Wow... what a stupid oversight...

Dat is stupid. No joke.

A true scum bag will sink that low, to steal from people that already lost everything.

Indeed

This is the lady's fault -- who would be smart enough to show ur cred off on TV???

 

[nicholas]

Horrible but not surprising. No matter how bad things are, and no matter how low people are, there's just no limit to how much lower they're willing to go.

 

[Andromeda]

That is so dumb... oh my...

 

[jmweb]

This is 2005 remember and people are very clearly that low and stupid.

so if you leave your car unlocked when paying for petrol and someone steals it thats ok because you left your car open?

True she made a mistake of showing the card to reporters without hiding the numbers but do you really think that was on her mind? She was probably very ecstatic that she was finally able to buy her and her daughter some food etc. Also surely the news corporations have a duty to censor things they publish?

I agree with filth. ... the news corporations should be more responsible. Gee, if I could and in her situation, I'd sue all those corps that publicised the pic.
