Shouldn't the paparazzi be held responsible for this shit?

Bloom cleared of drunk driving charges

Bloom, 29, was driving in west Los Angeles in the early morning hours on October 12 when he swerved and hit a car.

The evaluation sheet shows Bloom was being chased by paparazzi in four cars, two of which tried to cut him off. It said that after the wreck, Bloom walked about 60 feet (20 meters) to avoid photographers then returned.

So, they make him crash, then they photograph it. Good copy, huh? Sells lots of magazines. ANd then have the nerve to write up stories questioning his character when he walked away from teh car, insinuating that he was running away from the scene and telling him to go back. Completely ignoring the fact that they had just caused him to crash!!! Have we lost our collective minds?!!!? Do we really need to see a fucking person driving from a club so much that we will risk his life and limbs to get our celebrity fix?  How exactly, is this kind of thing still legal? Under what circumstances does the "people's right to know" trump the health and safety of the people that we are trying to know? How come we scream when a police chase ends in a crash, yet allow photographers to chase people down like nobles and dogs chasing game and nothing happens? How come photographers are allowed to sue and win against the overwhelmed celebs who are sick and tired of cameras and rude comments and photoshopped pics and gobs of strangers decimating their privacy and react negatively, yet , when  paparazzi risk the lives of celebs, themselves and innocent people that may be around,  no-one is held responsible? What Orlando Bloom's life outside of the silver screen is like is NONE OF OUR GODDAMN BUSINESS! We don't need to know to know that he goes clubbing. We don't need to know where he lives, what the fuck he wears when he's not promoting a movie, what's his favorite food, none of it. If he wasn't a celebrity the fucking paparazzi would be charged with stalking.  And they caused him to crash, so that would have been attempted manslaughter or something. But because he is a celebrity, we assume that this shit should be the way he lives his life? What, does someone need to die before we do something to stop excessive force and dangerous maneuvers  in getting  stupid photos of a man driving home from a club? Oh wait, one celeb already did. Apparently, they need to pay for their fame with their privacy, their safety and ultimately their lives.

Dear skylark...SQUEEEEEE!

So I checked the post office yesterday and got this box. Now I have been buying 3 or 4 books a week from Amazon lately so I look at the strange address and think that it's probably one of those. Then, on my trek to my room I look more carefully at the box and see that it's a Barnes and Noble box, and then I look at the name again and HOLY  HELL ITS THE SMP STORIES, YEAHHHHHHH!!!! So I bundled it carefully to my chest and locked the door and went to be alone with it.  Then I had to put it down and go do an essay that was late as hell but I finished it and I ate dinner then I went to be alone with the box again. And I loved the notepad and the rest of the gifts too and the skipping rope(holy hell, I haven't skipped in years!!!) and don't worry about the story, whenever you have time and I'm working on yours and the paper was so beautiful, where did you buy it and the stories, ahhhhh the stories... Well. Since I am sure that many people have not received their stuff yet, I will not spoil the plots, but I will say that I am thoroughly satisfied.
