Power Tends to Corrupt, Etc.

Who is that and what the hell did he do?

You might recognize him as the "son of Indiana Jones" from the fourth movie. Hopefully you won't know him as the star of the Transformer movies. Either way, Shia recently had a run-in with paparazzi and took away a camera. Then he called the police, who, instead of running the paparazzi off, took the camera away from Shia and gave it back to the photographer.

Oh, him.

I don't think I could ever tolerate the publicity that comes with political careers and celebrity lifestyles. No thanks! I'd probably beat the paparazzi man with his own camera and give snuggies to the snarky frat boys who ask me half-baked questions about my policy. I don't understand why those characters and roles are put on moral pedestals where everybody expects them to turn the other cheek and be little saints. They are human beings, just like everyone else.

The sound of a paparazzi camera shattering is sweet music to my ears. Mmm...

But yeah, it sucks to be famous as either a pop-culture celebrity or a politician, anything else is generally fine since you'll only be famous to people who are usually in the same field and not every 15-year old barbie and her dog.
