John Mayer Verses Paparazzi at Los Angeles City Hall

[zacaddison]

See...JM isn't such a dueche after all.

[PrInCeSsFBi45]

I mean I understand they have a job to make but they really should get a grip on themselves. Taking photographs of kids? Driving dangerously in a threatening manner? All this is really dangerous. There's a job and then there's reckless behavior and one of these days someone is going to get hurt and it's not going to be pretty.

[HuckleberrySlim]

that guy had a really lame excuse where theres a will theres a way, i dont see the common commoner asking for help on the papparazzi, celebrities are the famous people dipshit get something done

[fight4urpointofveiw]

John Mayers amazing!

[seriouslyjb]

I agree paps need to back up. They take hundreds of pictures! Not one and move on. No one should have to deal with this. No one!

[wojtek0000]

The gov't wont do anything about them. Money. As long as they're making money it's a free for all.

[dr05guitar]

uh i think it's pretty obvious that the celebrities are the ones being swarmed with the paparazzi, no need to define who is a celeb and who isn't...this is kind of a silly subject anyway haha

[WV24985]

Don't get me wrong on this...I love John Mayer's music, and I think he is very talented...However...I think he should quit crying. That's all part of the lifestyle he has chosen. Fans want to know how their idols live, out of the spotlight. That will never change. If he doesn't want the fame, I'm sure there are millions of people who would gladly take it off his hands.

[godswiph]

THEY KILLED PRINCESS DIANA!!! the only reason u don't know that is because of the amount of money they generate... its absurd. Do u know how much brad and angelina sold their baby pictures for?... that should put things in perspective. (they gave that money to charity, btw)

[avstne]

Yea, he did choose that lifestyle, but should he, or any of the others, have to deal with it? His job is to make music, just like its other peoples' jobs to cure people, teach kids, etc.. But none of the other proffessions have to deal with that.. Idk I'm just babbling, but that's my opinion. Just because he went into this job well aware this would happen, it doesn't mean he can't stand against it.

[garrethdavis]

i agree with last guy!

[LJB3388]

I agree!!

[Waterman117]

Wow that's the chief of police ? what a dumbass, taxation is an excellent idea people get like a million bucks for a britney photo so tax that shit with obama giving all the governments money to idiots who lost their money by being dishonest and stupid we need all we can get.

[Fonk04]

John's right, regulation would mean that there would be authorsed photographers from who the magazine's should get the pictures.

Magazines then, can choose who to buy from and vice versa

[B0289]

The arguments that were given against Johns statement were irrelevant, if you regulate paparazzi, you do not have to decide who is a celebrity and who is not. It does not matter if it is regulated.

[funkdrum5]

That first arguement by Stiffy McStifferson is completely flawed in that regulation of paparazzi is feasible as a defensive measure without quantifying who is and is not a celebrity.

Fuck You 20 shubhs whatever the hell that is....LOSER

[JoeAbadoo]

Brilliant surgeons are public figures. So should they have guys stalking them ready to shove cameras up their asses just to get as close a view as possible as well? The public wants celebrities - we WANT great music, we WANT tv & movies to entertain us from time to time, so do the people who help create these things we want have to suffer for it?? This is just ridiculous. Public figures/private lives. That's the way it should be.

[20shubhS]

Fuck you TED!

[Aestheticsguitar]

I think you would understand him, if you couldnt go outside your door, without people taking photos of you.

[BigBoiJC]

Ted there is a such thing called "a line". that is something you shouldn't cross with celebrities. when the paps cross it, people have a right to defend themselves

[usa02]

The Los Angeles Police Chief needs to resign.

[ravenbull]

Stupid Stalkers, Get a Life of Your Own

[esprit15d]

No one, bystander or celebrity, should be hounded That law should apply to everybody. So, the chief of police is stupid.

[ohcoolmusic]

Ha! He's probably being paid. We should get Batman to look after these problems!!
