Usher’s attorney, , is reportedly attempting to track down the seller, who could potentially be prosecuted for possessing stolen property.

And while the early signs indicate that literally nothing has happened to the Internet since the butt picture came out, we’ve been a little stressed because, as the saying goes, where there’s butt, there’s other stuff. Last night, that other stuff finally came out (link NSFW) and it shows that this “Kim Kardashian” means business when it comes to threatening the web. We’ve covered the most dangerous parts of the photos with black boxes because this is all too horrifying.
