Provocation
The paparazzi go out of their way to make people angry so that they can get a
better picture. The American actor George Clooney was walking down the street
with his girlfriend when a paparazzo shouted, 'Who's the fat girl?' The picture of
Clooney's angry face was splashed all over the newspapers the next day.
However, the actor got his revenge on the paparazzi when one of the
photographers was hiding in his garden to get pictures of him and his girlfriend at
home -the photographer was chased away by Clooney's pet Vietnamese pot-
bellied pig. The paparazzi are out of control. Some papers have recognised what
is happening and have refused to buy pictures when it's obvious that a person's
privacy has been invaded. Other papers must follow their example.
