43. The Paparazzi
The press print anything that's right or wrong
Hoping to sell it for a song
When you read it it won't be there
The story you told them as If they care
Celebrities, high profile politicians and VIPs are the big money makers, when it comes to getting their photographs taken. But it must be the right photo. When I say the right photo, I don’t mean with their permission, but without it!
Most famous people take thousands of photos every year, but those are mostly tame publicity shots at agreed times and places. What the paparazzi are hoping to get are daring illegal photos, with big money pay offs from interested newspapers and media companies. These command high prices, but it must be the right shot of a VIP or celeb, in a let's say uncompromising position with someone they shouldn’t be seen with. Sadly, the only time these people will know anything about it, is when they find themselves on the front page of a newspaper, tv program or website.
You might be thinking, am I in favour of them?
Let’s just say I don’t agree with their methods.
