The Pic from Insta-Hell: Michael Buble and the #BeautifulBum

Michael Buble hasn't Met You Yet, but he has met your ass, and he's Feeling Good.
That's what's happened earlier this week when he posted this pic his wife Luisana Lopilato took of him in front of a woman's butt (her back facing his) in an unknown store in Miami.
The caption and hashtags below may not have helped.

After some (rather kinda deserved) backlash from some fans and other people who saw the image, Buble responded in a rather "I'm sorry, but not really sorry" kind of approach.


I agree with Buble and agree with the people who may have been offended.

People, if you've watched music videos by Hip-Hop artists these days, then you KNOW what he's shown here is nothing compared to that. Enough said.
Okay, here's more: What he said in that photo wasn't offensive or degrading. Sure, it's weird that that a nice, classy man like him has uploaded the pic to his Instagram page, and even weirder that his wife, of all people, has taken it in the first place, but it's not as disgusting as everyone has made it out to be. Also some people believe that he was fat-shaming her. Ummm...does she fat to you?? Because to me she looks like a lovely average woman. You guys have probably listened to "All About That Bass" one too many times. (No offense)

I do agree with the people about the point he missed about the fact that he didn't ask for the woman's permission for her body to appear in the photo. He shouldn't have done it in the first place, even more obviously because of its inclusion on The Gram, should've asked first and it has posed some unflattering aspects for others to think about onto the unknown woman, who doesn't deserve to be a part of this controversy, or the aftermath.
But let me take this into a new perspective: If you take a photo of yourself either by yourself or with other people in public, and someone else or some random people just so happened to be in the shot, whether face(s) front or with their back(s) turned, would you have to ask each of them for their permission to keep the photo around, even if they'll never see it again? At least I wouldn't (not that you're wrong, though); that'd be a friggin' waste of time...and in this case, some unwanted embarrassment, that is if you're actually going through with taking a picture of someone's backside and posting it online for the world to see. Would you want to ask a woman for her permission to take a photo of her butt while she doesn't know of it occurring? Of course not! What the hell are you doing taking a picture of a woman's ass in the first place?? And this is a question I shall ask Mr. and Mrs. Buble.

What you two did was kinda wrong, but damn me for not finding it flattering and a little funny too.
