Model Takes on Cyberbully, and Google

by Peter Mychalcewycz on January 8, 2009 at 05:30 PM



Top-paid models may have luxurious, pampered lives, but they are also frequently targeted by bitter, jealous cretins.

Take for example Canadian model Liskula Cohen. She has been targeted by a cyber-bully for, well, being a beautiful, successful model, CBS News reports. We will assume for now that the person who created the Google-hosted blog Skanks in NYC has none of the aforementioned attributes. The site consists of insults directed at Cohen and unflattering, personal pictures of her. That is the only point of the blog from what we can tell, aside from proving that the person responsible has a dull life.

Cohen has asked Google to reveal the identity of the cyber-sissy to no avail. Google maintains that unless directed by a court order or subpoena, it will not release any user's personal information.

We realize that the luxurious lifestyles of others may be hard to take sometimes, but come on. Get a life. [From: CBS News]
