Things are out of control if you are a celebrity these days. There are countless magazines and newspapers who want that exclusive shot of some famous person walking to the shops. I brought this up because I was reading a news story on how this boy band member alegedly punched two photographers, breaking their cameras in the process. The star has to appear in court and face some sort of punishment.



I don't think this is right, what about peoples rights to privacy. Anybody is bound to crack if some tw@ is shoving a camera in your face, blinding you with their flash while you are out with some friends or anything. The law needs to take this into consideration, it's harrasment and needs to be recognised.

Agreed
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

This reminds me of when Sean Penn rocked a photographer years ago when the photog tried to take a pic of him and Madonna. The photographer had his nose broken and his camera smashed. I don't blame Sean Penn, he was getting harrassed repeatedly and that one photographer was the final straw.



We're a society made up of voyeurs... the media eats up these candid pictures. Don't know how it is elsewhere but here there are laws that don't prohibit the use of photography on public property - if someone has their picture taken while on public property they are pretty much fair game. It still doesn't excuse anyone with a camera to get in anyone's face - it just goes beyong the realm of common courtesy. It is absolute harrassment!
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

personally i didn't give a shit if someone like lee from blue is being harrased. i find having to listen to his music at work a form of harrasment. what goes around comes around.



what i don't understand in this world is the media/publics lust for celebrities. they are not that intresting, they are people like you and me. there a more important issues in this world to publicize than where a 'star' goes for lunch.
I'm a fuckin doughnut

I was just using that blue member as an example, that case I couldn't give a shit because of the crap music he's involved in. I hate what pass for celebrities, who gives a shit about what they were wearing, what they were eating or shit. Peoples lifes must be so empty for them to actually think that it's entainment.



Find a hobby you boring kuntz!

That fuckin hobby could provide you with so much fuckin money its not even fuckin funny. A shot of a famous celebrity could earn you upto thousands of dollars. I am not sayin it's right or wrong i am just saying that so many people make a fortune out of these pics and raise a family.



"Peoples lifes must be so empty for them to actually think that it's entainment" yes people like us need something to talk about. We love our celebrities, when they break up we cry when they hook up with some other celebrity we cry even more. The only people who read this kind of stuff are soccer moms who have way too much time in their manicured hands.

I'd love to be prime minister of this country, things would change I tell you! Papparzzi wont be able to take the suspect to court, or sue, as it's harrasment, and beheading would be the standard punishment.



Afgans would be kicked out of the country.



McDonalds would be replaced by pubs. Fast food would be eliminated as there are too many fat bastards these days.



If you want to know where I stand on other policies, please don't be afraid to ask.

Immigrants coming here from the new member countries of the EU: Are they here to live off the social or to earn a living legitamately?



I think the latter.



If I siezed control from iguana I would ban people from using their mobiles on the train. "Hello.... I'm on the train...be back in 20 minutes'' etc. :x

My party would consist of people who are tired of people taking the piss and who hate what's happening to this country. Entry will be determined by the applicants ability to beat an afgan.



If people are coming into this country, they are going to have to earn a living, they don't deserve shit, if they they think they do, they can fuk right off to where they came from. I don't mind handing out benefits to single mothers as that is a hard job, as long as they don't take the piss.



Using mobile phones on a train will not even be mentioned as that is just a waste of time. Get used to technology, is it really that annoying? is it? I don't think so. If it's one of those big mouthed loud women with a really anoying voice, then you have the right to shove the phone down her throat, the courts wont hold that against you.

I'm not a rasist. That isn't racism. There are just to many in my town bringing it down. Girls arn't safe, and they are getting in my way.
