Photographer took pics of Sharapova's crotch.

The head of a Japanese ad agency secretly snapped crotch shots of the tennis icon as she posed for a Canon ad in 2005, according to a federal lawsuit, the New York Daily News reported on its Web site.

1. That was Rated PG-13 at best.

She was in plain sight,in public, it looks like.

2. Unremarkable

No hair. No penis.

5. Maybe I'm misunderstanding,

you were expecting a penis? On Maria?

4. She is sitting there with her legs up but is covered with clothes. What's the big deal?

I don't see a problem with that photo since it isn't just a crotch shot.

7. The big deal is that a subordinate employee was allegedly fired for complaining

about the boss sharing surreptitiously-photographed crotch shots with his employees.

I don't think the picture itself is the big deal, but if my boss made a habit of showing off his secret crotch-shot collection at work and I complained and was then fired, I think I'd be suing, too.

6. Being a tennis fan,

I've seen much more graphic shots posted on some tennis forums.

8. This crap

is really making it hard to be a photographer. We have to worry about homeland security, paranoid Mom's, and panicky tourists. When they catch this trash doing stuff like this they should be charged with a sex crime.

You guys do know people go to high school football games and stuff just to photograph cheerleader crotches right? Maybe I'm wrong but it seems kind of sick to me.

9. Perhaps this is my cynicism, but this is a worthy news story

exactly how?

I fail to get it
