Go Kat!

I think we are forced to assume that the journalist is an idiot too, or was too bedazzled by her sex eyes to think straight.

There are reasonably useful things to say about various things tactically attracting the wrong kind of attention, but it is always VITAL to strongly distinguish between "these things may be a bad move and make bad things more likely" and "it's your own fault if you do this" or "you are asking for it if you do this." I mean, if I walk around a very rough area late at night flashing a wad of cash, it does make it more likely that I would get mugged (well, anyone sane would scent a set-up, but you know what I mean) and you could well say I was stupid, but that doesn't mean I morally deserve to be attacked. (This is hopelessly crude, I realise, but there is a real distinction to make.)
