Jasmine Fiore Death Photo

Jasmine Fiore Death Photo

The top Google Trend at this time is Jasmine Fiore fotos. However, it's not what you might think. Although Fiore was indeed a model, and was indeed enhanced surgically, what people are (sadly) looking for is the Jasmine Fiore death photo. Why? Over the weekend TMZ posted a picture of Fiore's dead body they had obtained from video, extremely grainy, but still in absolutely poor taste. The Jasmine Fiore death photo (or foto) caused a huge protest at the site, and it was taken down.
That's not to say, however, you can't find the Jasmine Fiore death photo (or foto) if you look hard enough. The incident also raises the question, of where the line is. This is very similar to when David Carradine's death photo was leaked to a tabloid, in Thailand, I believe. Where is ethics nowadays? The answer, unfortunately, is that much as with anything else, ethics goes out the window where money is concerned. Obviously a Jasmine Fiore death photo would be big news, and big money to TMZ. Sure, they took it down, but the publicity is worth a lot, even negative publicity.
So where should tabloids draw the line? Common sense should play into it, or how about thinking, "would you want your daughter or whatever shown in such a way." Still, the fact that both "Jasmine Fiore death photo" and "Jasmine Fiore fotos" are tops in Google Trends, shows that the audience is much better than TMZ, in this regard.
