Erin Andrews Nude Video Went Wide Thanks to ESPN

File this one under “when will they learn.”  According to Page Six, the nude, peeping tom video of ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews had been posted online way back in February to little notice.  However…

.Last Thursday, NSFWPOA.com, which had linked to the Andrews shots, got a letter from ESPN counsel David Pahl demanding the “pictures of a young, blonde woman” be removed. It didn’t take long for Web sites to identify the blonde as Andrews.       LINK

And just like that, everyone and their mother knew about the video.

The lesson is pretty clear: the quickest way to unwanted publicity is to issue a takedown notice against something nobody had even noticed.

Nice work, ESPN.
