Paparazzi...YUCK !

As mentioned in the previous post, sometimes I dislike artists that go hot in a BOOM, but sometimes I pity them for choosing this route as their career. Nope, I have not knocked my head on something hard or anything like that, I'm just viewing this entertainment world in an alternative angle. The reason why I pity those people is because their private lives are now exposed largely all thanks to the "contribution" of the paparazzi. Any tiny puny little "unique" detail that appears in an artist's daily life can become headlines in the entertainment news on the next day...

e.g. Taiwanese artist Van Fan Yi Chen was caught in photo while he was releasing his "tension" in a backstreet alley by paparazzi. Van claimed he had selected an angle where people nearby wouldn't have a chance of taking a look at his XXX easily, but he said that it was the paparazzi who purposedly took his photo in an angle where maximum exposure was achieved. He also stated that he wasn't the one who was making a bad image of himself to the society, but it was the paparazzi who was responsible in this case.

Even though I am not a fan of Van (I dislike him anyway =P), but in this case i agree with what he says.

In my opinion, the media is used to provide and propagate accurate and healthy information to the public. But for the sake of greed, the paparazzi and their employers ( the editors, the boss blah blah blah) had misused this concept to earn the curiousity of the public for their own fortune. To me, the money earned in such a way is filthy, because the money invloves the process of hurting a person's pride and ruining his/her life, and also by spreading animosity and unhealthy messages. Shame on you people !!!
