- Cancerkitty, on 04/25/2008, -1/+27I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this. Different strokes I suppose.
I gotta say: the guys who came up with this idea are pretty damn clever. - ApolloXLII, on 04/25/2008, -1/+21I just hope people apply it to the right situations. Paparazzi following you to Home Depot or to your Community College would just look weird. you gotta use it to get into those super posh parties. you know, the ones where it's nothing but sex and zero gravity? yeah, use it to get into those parties.
- bonsomme, on 04/25/2008, -1/+13I need to hire someone to take pap-style photos of me digging this story.
- alpha19, on 04/25/2008, -1/+12My god, what has this world come to....
- crapmatic, on 04/25/2008, -0/+9It's kind of silly that the article is playing up the angle of populating one's scrapbook. If it was me, I'd be using the paparazzi to toy around with getting attention at some strategic places. Imagine what would happen if you had them follow you to your airline check in desk. Would the airline desk expedite you past security? And if enough people saw you before you went through security and got rid of the paparazzi, I wonder what kind of people you'd meet and conversations you'd have at the boarding gate. Interesting way to network if done right.
- 919kwjc, on 04/25/2008, -2/+9Hey, look at me! I'm a nobody!
- ninjaface, on 04/25/2008, -1/+8you know you're a douche bag when.....
- stratius, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6From the photo that was posted it did look pretty natural. When taking shots of friends there's a point at the start where the photos tend to suck because they know the camera's there. After doing this for a few hours at a pub though they just ignore the camera after a while and then the good shots start coming out. In this paparazzi/from afar style of shooting I can see the same thing happening. No posed ***** or artificial studio lights (which look awesome don't get me wrong), it's just purely natural.
- ChzPlz, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6Can't spell Paparazzi? Click the "Check Spelling" button!
- Sherman901, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5nothing in the world can help you with that.
- fLUx1337, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6If you take a hostage in a public you will soon get a FREE group of papazrazzi. Paying is for puffs....
- veriix, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5Well, I doubt it will end up any worse then any of your other schemes. PRO TIP: How about talk to a girl instead and see where it goes.
- inactive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4Only if you happen to be visibly drunk. Or on drugs. That's the TMZ approach, no?
- vSanity, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5Now celebrates can hire fake paparazzi to tail the REAL paparazzi, give them a taste of their own medicine...
- kdamp, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Yes, but what did you rid yourself of? And why are you speaking in the Royal We?
- Quick2822, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3But what good are the photos if no one wants them? Isn't that the reason why you're hiring paparazzi in the first place because no one wants your picture?
- dafragsta, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2an end.
- iheartrendering, on 04/25/2008, -2/+4I need to hire someone to take pap-style photos of my ***** on the street corner.
- inactive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2It's cheaper to just pay the girl.
- SemiSarcastic, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2That's sad...just sad.
- SketchyClown, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Buried for being completely ***** retarded.
- foofoobee, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2This article combines and confuses two very different things. The service that "Rony" is offering is completely different than that entourage package from celeb-4-a-day. The pregnant lady strikes me as someone who wanted candid, photojournalistic images of herself as she went about her daily business. The photographer was not intrusive or making a big fuss over her. The other service is set up specifically to call attention to yourself. The end product there is a couple of hours of fake fame, not photojournalistic-style images of the person. That's a big distinction.
- monsterette, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Haaa, unbelievable! ...some of us are still old school list...it's done for free via the unauthorized stalker paparazzi...
- inactive, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1I finally understand! How much is Obama paying all of you?
- xrambo, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Their needs to be a way to get "unfamous."
- kidjay, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2its all fun and games until you can't go and buy a christmas tree without wearing your hood up.
this kind of ***** makes me want to throw up. - mille716, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I agree. It sounded like the first few people mentioned in the article just wanted shots from their daily life that are natural. That doesn't really fit the "paparazzi" definition in my book. I myself have always try to take pictures of friends and family when they aren't posing or expecting it. Its always a better picture. The last section of the article is completely different though. Paying people to shout questions at you and taking your picture is just sad. These are the ***** that appear on that "Sweet Sixteen" show.
- souljaboytellem, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2I don't understand how walking down a street being pregnant will make you famous, but to each his own I gues...
- subkey, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Gotta love those space orgies
- dafragsta, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I was thinking nearly the same thing. Get them to come up to you at a big convention with a lot of your professional peers, and you'd be very intriguing to a few people. Not that I'd do that, it's still pretty dishonest and akin to running a con job on someone.
- LeePeyton, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Low Key is the Way to Be
- centran, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I was hoping that a group like improv everywhere would take an ordinary person and try to convince people on the street that it is someone famous... I mean if you have bodyguards and 20 people shouting questions and taking pictures people are going to be like "who is that". It would need some kind of twist to make it funny.
- AmandaZampieri, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1"But instead he is really capturing you as you are."
- cbegin, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Perhaps the better way to go is for the actual celebrities to hire personal photographers to photograph their lives and give the pictures away for FREE... thus completely undercutting the papz. At first the celebs would have to be very open about the candid nature of the photos, otherwise the pics couldn't compete. But after a while of this, the entire papz business would sink into the ground.
If you're a celeb, you're public. You might as well be the one controlling it, and also it would be way nicer to only have ONE person you know taking pics constantly, rather than 50 people blocking the entrance to your home or vehicle. - antdude, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Any parazzi shots of Kevin Rose working? :P
- dafragsta, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1B list celeb + paparazzi = A- list
- hpp00nst3r, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1papazrazzi lol...
- veriix, on 04/25/2008, -2/+2I always wondered what I would look like to a stalker.
- endlessoul, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1*click* LEAVE DIGG ALONE!
/lol - kylesherman, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Sad, although It would be funny if you decided to trail a celebrity and their paparazzi trying to take photos of the said celebrity with a little point and shoot while you were being trailed by the hired paparazzi. This would make for a very confusing situation and some interesting pictures. Expensive none-the-less.
- nbg8888, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1really? really?? I feel like we all have to much money to spend. But these guys are really playing capitalism to their advantage. Nice job.
- urgeigh, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Damn now there's a good idea, dugg.
- burdalane, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Cool! I would't mind having my own paparazzi or entourage. Paparzzi-for-hire might also be a fun career. I'll hire paparazzi to photograph me being paparazzi.
- Gatonegrosky, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1regular people Lmao
- tnt85, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0This is just retarded. Send your money to a charity.
- oreoinnyc, on 04/25/2008, -2/+2that is my french teacher.......
- inactive, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Good idea.
- arbouler, on 04/25/2008, -2/+1ever notice how all these hipster kids get their photos taken at clubs and bars by some photographers who later post them on their websites and all these hipster kids check the websites everyday to see if their pictures show up or not so they can feel good about themselves and later put them up on their myspace or facebook profile photos and think theyre so goddamn cool and popular?
- drgnflyblu5, on 04/25/2008, -2/+1First thought when seeing this: "Oh my god..."
- tsf5000, on 04/25/2008, -2/+1"Hi, I'm a loser with no friends and no self-esteem. If I pay you enough, will you follow me around and take picutes of me as if I were actually interesting? Awesome!!"
This is truly pathetic. Our society is in a downward spiral. -
