Todd,

Let's face it, if TLC were THAT worried about the pics in the retailer catalog
getting out there, they wouldn't release it so early.  It's not rationalizing,
it's flat out common sense.  If TLC can't imagine that the pics WILL make it on
the Web in this day and age, they are truly clueless about the net economy and
are doomed.

As others have noted, retailers in many countries have had these catalogs ON THE
SHELVES for customers to view for many years.  If TLC were so worried about it,
I'm sure they would have cracked down on this long before.

Again, until I specifically see something from TLC saying NOT to distribute the
pics, I see nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

maybe not a good idea.

Bingo.

taking the reporter idea farther- it seems that it is tLC's job to keep
their secrets secret and it is the reporter's job not to- both sides have
their part to play in this "game."

Bzzt.  Rationalizing.

(...) Oh, gee, yeah, that certainly justifies it. :-/ First, the retailer catalog was never "released" (to consumers). Retailer catalogs are sent to *retailers* for *retailers* to use for their businesses. Second, to the best of my knowledge, this (...)
