Look at the laptop screen. Its hard to see but I think he was wardriving. If so the video was edited in a way to make the guy seem crazy when in fact the person recording was acting strangely driving around the neighborhood


Yeah... the guy with brick reacted... poorly, but what the fuck was he doing in the first place. It's like the paparazzi getting all shitty when a celeb snaps at them for sticking a camera in their face.

Fucking paparazzi

Haha, I think JiggaJonson is the dick here. Fuck the paparazzi, they're some of the slimiest, scum-sucking pieces of shit out there. Next to Lawyers and Politicians.

Jump paparazzi? >> ^TheJehosephat:

Wait, what are they saying instead of "motherfucker"?
I also have the feeling Letterman and the audience have no clue how to act around people like this

You could start by reading the original poem Heroes by Suzi Q Smith.

Although there is some truth in Enoch's claim that poetry is subjective, it is also true that (er, most) poems do have themes that almost everybody will agree on and the degree of subjectivity varies somewhat. In some cases though, you can say definitely what the poem is about and be quite sure that people will only disagree to be ornery. This one probably isn't quite that clear cut...

To me, the main theme is the obvious and overt one of our culture of idolising celebrities, movie stars, pop stars, and then hounding them every minute of every day not forgiving them even the slightest indiscretion or giving them any privacy or room to be themselves in their time off.

Since the poem in question is dedicated to Michael Jackson, "slightest indiscretion" doesn't really apply... but if you forget the dedication for a minute and read it more about the public obsession with celebrity and the associated voyeurism of the paparazzi, then the point stands.

Now, as Enoch also asked, is that anything like what you got from it? What did you think? Back to subjectivity, there are no absolute wrong answers here, and even if there were there is no videosift exam at the end of term, but I'd really love to hear your take on it.

Can someone please explain to me what the idea is that's trying to be conveyed? From what i took from it, i thought the "meaning" behind the words was a poor one. And that could be because i'm coming from the wrong angle.

might help if you defined the "meaning" that you got from this in order to better help.
poetry is a subjective medium where words are more an emotive than a definitive.

I'd rather someone explain the to me what the idea is that's trying to be conveyed.

WTF!!!!!

How the FUCK was Seth Rogan anything but cordial and pleasant. He asked how long he was going to shoot him for, said cool, and that was it.

FUCK the paparazzi. FUCK them because they don't have a proper fucking job. Dear god... Yeah, they wouldn't be who they are from... oh... being IN MOVIES... ACTING, PRODUCING, WRITING... doing WORK.

YOU did not make Seth Rogan, you are delusional in thinking that YOU are doing ANY good in this world.

Fuck me... WOW, WOW! I cannot BELIEVE that they would in any way get mad at Seth for being actually cordial to them.

Dicks.

According to this jackhole paparazzi make celebrities...if it wasn't for them "there wouldn't be no Seth Rogen". I see...the celebs are the ones making money off the paparazzi...not the other way around.

Ah..., No... Paparazzi are scum!
These guys are bottom feeders.

When celebrities meet people, they are just like anyone else. We all take new acquaintances with a grain of salt. When we meet someone, and as time goes on, we share more experiences, the connection gets stronger until a friendship (bond) is created.

These guys share none of that. They jump out, accost him with cameras, and are shocked that Seth treats them with nothing but disdain. In fact they start off in the negative, they are there to feed off Seth without ever forming a relationship. I have no idea what these guys expect but they are obviously deluded.

On top of that, then they complain about Seth's attitude towards them. Seth seemed very patient with them - even though he obviously wasn't in the mood to be in the spotlight.

Keanu always comes off as a pretty mellow, nice guy in every interview I've seen or heard with him. He even just said here that he didn't mind the Sad Keanu meme (he just doesn't like the paparazzi). I don't think he seems like a pompous ass here?

Katy Perry please just go ahead and take your clothes off. You know it's only a matter of time until there's a sex tape, or some paparazzi takes a photograph on some secluded beach. You'd be doing yourself a favor.

Damn paparazzi!

Mixed feelings on this one. On one hand, he shouldn't have been excluded from the park if the event was open to the public unless he was being disruptive. However, the video did show him being slightly disruptive by poking the camera in the dude's side conversations and following him around like paparazzi.

Had he set himself up a tripod and shot the thing out of the way of traffic (not that there was a lot), he should have been fine. And I could see some real outrage if he was tossed to the street corner in that regard.

Thanks for the promote.
