Lately I’ve found myself in the position of being a vociferous advocate of the anti-paparazzi movement, even though I run a blog where I tend to point out absurd things that the paparazzi have caught on camera from time to time. It’s a love / hate relationship really. They’re fine when they catch something worthwhile, but too much time is spent on following celebrities around on mediocre days or worse yet, chasing people through streets in cars, an act that’s going to get someone killed sooner rather than later.
TMZ surprises me today though. They put up video of a crew of photographers yesterday running through red lights chasing after, who else, Britney Spears. One of the drivers actually stops to think about it before heading through the light some ten seconds after the thing turned red. “Hmmm, should I stop here? But Britney’s getting away. What if she’s blinking in her car? I have to catch it on film!” Dumbass.
