NSA on leaked celebrity nudes: ‘What’s the big deal? We’ve had these for months’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Responding to security concerns after the intimate photos and videos of over 100 celebrities were hacked and leaked online, Director Admiral Michael S. Rogers said that the agency fails to “see what the big deal is.”

“Frankly this is old news for us. For many months we’ve been cataloguing photos of these famous people, and our research indicates they are no different than the ones you have on your phones right now.”

When asked to respond to the accusation that the leaked explicit images constituted a violation of a right to privacy, Rogers said he was “unfamiliar” with what that meant.

“It’s important to realize that these are files from American citizens meant to be shared with those within their intimate circles, the corporations that host those files, and the United States government.”
