    People really need to stop this celebrity obsession. He’s a dad trick or treating with his daughter a few years ago. It is beyond ridiculous that people not only tolerate this, but cheer it on.

      You know, this is what dads do. Every good dad or mom is worth cheering on, since in this shit world it’s not granted.

        Ha, I completely didn’t pick up how my post could be read that way. And you’re right! I meant more about people being creepy and not letting a dad and daughter go unbothered for Halloween.

        I think they’re implying that we shouldn’t pay attention to it so these people can go back to having a private life. Maybe we can hope that might keep so many of them from dying by their own hands in one way or another.

      Seriously, this.

      All I could think of was wow, this poor little girl can’t even have a normal childhood experience trick or treating with her dad because some fuck head paparazzo is chasing them around snapping pictures of them. That’s so sleazy and shitty. She didn’t ask for this. She just wants to be with her dad.

        Firstly, it’s not necessarily a paparazzi - it could’ve just been someone in their neighbourhood who posted it to facebook.

        Secondly, here we are generating “engagement” with the product of their work.

          First, sure. It could be that. My opinion is that it’s awfully likely that a photo in this format was a paparazzo. And if it was a random neighbor it’s pretty rude of them, too.

          Second, the title of the post had zero indication that this would be a photo taken from the bushes of a celebrity and his child. Comments here in the form of “engagement” are doing absolutely nothing for the person who took the picture. I’m certain the person who made the meme didn’t pay for the shot. We don’t need to feel guilty because we accidentally viewed it for free on a website that generates no revenue. The people taking the picture are the ones who are wrong.

          There are lots of groups out there who could use random people on the internet defending them. Paparazzi are absolutely not in that category. They are terrible people.
