Fan v. Stalker

Aug 27, 2010 21:03

 I enjoy movies.  I get a thrill when I see a movie star. However, this obsessive tracking of Robert and Kristen is alarming.  These people call themselves fans but IMO they are just stalkers.  Observe:

FANS-    
Attend movie premieres 
Go to public appearances
Are in talk show audiences
 Wait outside talk shows/performances
 Request a picture
Request an autograph
Ask for a hug/handshake
Are excited just by being around the performer
Look forward to all of performer's films
Respect performer's private life
Respect's security boundaries
  Visits performer's filmset since fan lives nearby

STALKERS-    
Sneak onto movie sets
Chase down every Twitter sighting
Tweet all twitter sightings
Travel on location to performer's set
 Chase down performer's friends/family
Take pictures without performer's permission
 Get physical with performer without permission
Get angry at performer
Trespass on private property
Papparazzi

Hmmmm....take a minute to think about your relationship to your favorite start.  Which category are you?
