You know you're getting old when ... part-3

[Mikey]

You know you're getting old when the biggest nude celebrity photo scandal hits and you have no idea who any of them is

[EmergencyIan]

Ain't it the truth.

Um... pretty sure that's no indication how old you are, but rather how much of a wall you build around yourself. Unless you are less than six years old, in which case it is possible to have never heard of the celebrities named.

Granted, I am unfamiliar with a number of the celebrities involved, but if you have honestly never heard of (Academy Award-winner) Jennifer Lawrence or (multiple Grammy winner) Rihanna or Winona Ryder you probably should open a newspaper or magazine... 50-year-old Winona Judd has had an active musical career for almost 30 years. You've never heard of Jenny McCarthy? Really? I'm not a fan of Hillary Duff, but I know about her through my daughter (they are the same age) who followed her career since the mid-90s. I admit I only really learned who is Kate Upton in the last year, because I rarely pick up the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I only know about Mary Kate Olson because I actively avoid any/everything in which she and her sister appear.

But... it seems slightly incredulous in a group so dedicated to talking about superheroes -- you don't know who is Scarlet Johansson? She played a leading role in the largest grossing superhero movie of all time. Similarly, Kirsten Dunst co-stars as a recurring major character in a superhero trilogy whose chapters presently hold the 5th, 6th and 7th highest grossing slots in that same category; she was first nominated for a Golden Globe twenty years ago for her critically acclaimed performance in a film which itself was nominated for two Academy Awards.

It is virtually impossible to believe that you have never heard of (porn-star-turned-everyday-nuisance) Kim Kardashian. I cannot imagine how or why you are accessing this online Group without taking the smallest advantage of the virtually limitless information resources available through the Internet.

Dude -- what in blazes do you do with your time? If all you do is read classic novels, I cannot slight you for that decision, but there is a whole world outside your front door.

He just didn't recognize them without their clothes on, that's all....

Alrighty then.

I love movies, so I know all of today's actors, including the young ones.

Having said that, I'm completely out of touch with today's music scene, so anyone over 30 years old...I have no idea who they are, except for the few big names like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift.

[madmarva]

Never mind

Notice I very clearly avoided I know that Selena Gomez is (or was?) Justin Bieber's girlfriend.

According to a news story on this, the practice of uploading naked/risque photos of oneself is rather prevalent among the younger generation, which means many of those whose accounts were hacked are young (i.e. 20-somethings and thirty-somethings)... although Winona Judd is on that list, and I'm not sure I ever want to know what photos she posted.

So, frankly: "You know you're getting old when ...you don't have to be worried about leaked nude photos from the cloud, because you haven't even considered taking nude photos of yourself in over 30 years."

...when every time you get up from a seated position, open a pickle jar, bend over to pick something up, reach up high on a shelf, take a dump or roll over in bed a slight or loud groan involuntarily comes out of your mouth.

I am sooooo old and out of it, until just now I thought Selena Gomez was murdered by her fanclub president

The problem is most come and go so fast,you're like "who are they talking about?" Either that or you try to ignore what some of these people do or don't even pay any attention to them at all.

[ZombieJimC]

WOW! I must be ancient. Cause I dont even know what you guys are talking about.

A bunch of celebs old enough to be our grand-daughters were caught with their pants down

[SentientApe]

Here's one of the stories...

However, if you're that old, there's a strong possibility you won't know what 4CHAN is, either. ...those clueless buffoons at Fox News, when reporting this story, actually pondered on air whether anyone knows "Who this 4CHAN guy is...?"

[Mikey]

Never heard of it -- only Chan I know is the Chan Clan
