Paparazzi -- photographers, est. freelance ones, who take candid shots, often in an intrusive manner, of celebrities for newspapers or magazines.
If you have watched the show, which has seen a lot of air time in the past couple months, you know what it's about. Now, after watching quite a few of these shows, I find myself not really interested in watching the celebrities anymore. All celebrities are human and they do stupid things, get angry, and yada yada yada just like everyone else. Plus, you are taking pictures in that kind of manner, anyone will go crazy. I find myself increasing wanting to see the photographer, the paparazzi, get their ass kicked. I find it hard to respect those people--you can say they are doing their jobs for "us". But I don't read tabloids. I am not interested in ugly pictures of celebrities, because as they are human you already know there are times they will look ugly. They don't have to be annoying to take good looking pictures. They are being annoying so they can take ugly pictures. Anyway, what's your opinion on this?
I personally put them at the same level as telemarketers. ie, if they go to court and sue somebody for breaking their camera when they are intrusively shooting, the judge would say: "it's people like you who make our world less happy, get out of here!" (What happened to a telemarketer who sued customer for being rude)
