當照片PO網,發生在錯誤的時間……

最近看到24歲的美國超級紅星Katy Perry,今年剛唱紅了「I Kissed a Girl」 ,舞台上以扮裝大膽著稱,據說特別喜歡用水果當裝飾。昨天看到新聞,她最近因為一張照片,引來喧然大波,這張照片如上圖。

據說這張照片原本要用在她最新專輯「One For The Boys」中,而且據說這張照片還是知名的攝影師Richardson的作品,他之前都是在幫Gucci、Tommy Hilfiger拍照片,已經以愛拍邊緣尺度的照片而知名。這張照片在拍攝時,Katy可能沒有想太多,反正拿一把刀,表情有點兇狠,應該沒關係吧?許多音樂團體不都是搞這種形象嗎?

萬萬沒想到的是,Katy貼照片的那天,剛好在遙遠的英國,才剛發生一件青少年刺殺事件,16歲的青少年Joseph Lappin遇刺身亡,父母傷心欲絕,社會怒吼憤慨,在這時候,Katy哪壺不開提哪壺,竟貼了這麼一張拿著刀子的照片,英國民眾看了,抗議!抗議!

Katy也看到抗議聲浪,她的回應竟也保持一貫的無釐頭,她馬上在她的網頁也回應了一張照片,手上的利刃,換成了無辜的湯匙,表情也變得和善,沒想到,這張照片再度被媒體拿出來炒作,炒到今天有點失去控制了。

麻煩的是,Katy就在今天還要在倫敦的MTV頒獎典禮上作主持人,她主持的地點,據說離那位男孩遇刺的地點只有幾哩遠而已。媒體抓住這個連結性,拚命報。

所以,原本我想買一個照相手機,看到什麼隨處就拍,現在,我有點想卻步。

網路太厲害,照片大家都愛,隨便一張照片傳出去,應該三思而後行──

在美國另一處,在這個月也傳出一個「照片事件」,有一個警察,因為在10月底的萬聖節變裝派對中裝成以下這麼一個模樣,而在這周被解僱了。裝成3K黨的不是他,而是他的朋友,但他則裝成納粹,比出納粹手勢。

雖然警察不是名人,但警察是「警察」,美國剛選出一個少數族裔的總統,整個社會的氣氛絕不容許這樣的一個事件,就算只是在化裝舞會開個小玩笑,上網後就不是玩笑了

我不想寫太多,但一路看到這些案例,我會發現一件事:

同樣一張照片,在不同的時間,就會產生不一樣的效果。

今天的風波,到明天不見得會是風波

五年前要被抓去關無期徒刑的事,五年後甚至變得不可以定罪。

但看看這些因為照片而起風波的這麼多人之中,其中最可憐的,應該是那個警察。

我不是在同情他的作為,身為少數族裔我當然是反對這些白人至上的種族歧視,但不禁也一嘆,他的一個小失誤,造成群眾的反彈,群眾反彈完、高興了以後,回去他們自己的工作崗位,繼續的工作。但警察呢?他真的失去了工作,一夕之間眾叛親離,想想,當年他可能考了好幾年才當上警官,娶妻、生子,一夜之間,因為一張PO上網的照片,從此就變成了無業遊民。

因為一張,發生在錯誤時間的錯誤照片。
