Found these on the news groups. Her face was blurred in the main image, but they forgot to blur the thumbnail on the contact sheet (which I superimposed onto the main pic).

Ha Ha. Great find Public_Access.

I wonder sometimes if the posters "forget" to blur on purpose - kind of a 'maybe someone will recognize the person in the pic and if they do I have an out' idea.

I think your're right, in many cases thay probably are intentional. Here's an example though that wasn't intended, which led to a very embarrassing moment for TechTV's Cat Schwartz. This one has more to do with cropping photos than blurring them. Last year she posted the attached pictures to her blog. They seem innocent enough, but because of a bug in Adobe Photoshop...well, see my next post

When you crop a photo and save it in some older versions of Photoshop, it sometimes keeps a thumbnail of the original image embedded in the picture. It turns out Cat was topless in the uncropped images, and when found by savy TechTV viewers they got posted all over the internet . There were a bunch of interviews with her afterwards where she talked about how embarrasssing it was.

Whenever I see a photo that looks like something was cropped out of it I now always check to see of there is an embedded thumbnail

Awesome. I didn't know that. (Thought process kicks in . . . )

Uh oh, my wife may not be happy with me if she hears this - I told her that once you edit a pic there was no way to unedit it

Damn, she may appear in this thread.

These are from the "it-won't-be-an-identifiable-nude-pic-floating-around-the-net-if-the-face-only-shows-in-candid-clothed-pics" school of thought...
