A day after it was pointed out, talk show host Victoria Taft has pulled a photo from her blog that was, well, out of place. And she’s offered an apology to anyone who was offended by the photo—she had “hotlinked” the image from another website, and when the owner of that site found out, he or she switched it out with a pornographic image.

Honestly, when I saw it and posted about it, I figured the photo would be up for a few minutes and then pulled down once Victoria and/or her webmaster saw the goof. And then we’d all have a laugh. But then the photo stayed up for a full day after that, and got some attention outside of this little blog, making it a bigger deal.

Here’s Victoria’s apology:

I would like to sincerely apologize to anyone who saw, shall we say, an unsavory image on my blog recently. I did not post that picture and, of course, anyone who reads the blog regularly or listens to my show on KPAM from 5-8pm knows this.

I would also like to apologize to the person whose image I used on my website. At the time I posted it I was unaware that to use the image (in this case of a political figure) in the way that I did would also use the person’s bandwidth. When made aware of this I immediately ceased doing it, but, clearly more needs to be done on my part in previous postings and I will do that.

Further, I would like the person whose image was used and who then replaced it with the obviously unsuitable other image to email or call me and I can apologize to him personally. He knows where I work and he must know my email since it’s readily available.

Whaddya say, Victoria—no hard feelings?
