From Here to the Czech Republic

Now Imagine this, you have a picture of your self online somewhere (your blog/ facebook ect.) and one day you find out it ends up on some store window in the middle of another country. How would this make you feel?

Well this exact thing happened to the Smith Family of St. Louis. Now I couldn't find the picture, but the family name is Smith. But the photo did make its way all the way to The Czech Republic, into the city of Prague. Here it was displayed in a store window that specializing in European food. The photo was first seen by a family friend who sent it to the family.

How would this make you feel? Danielle Smith said "This story doesn’t frighten me, but the potential frightens me". What else could happen to you, well more like pictures of you, if you become a model with out even knowing? Those photos are out there and any one could use them.

This was just a little weird news I found. I am really sad i couldn't find the ad. I did just remeber here something that tops off this weird story, the store owner said he thought the picture was computer generated and completely made up. And remeber there is very little privacy on the internet.
