**cue impromptu dance party**

We have 500 people watching this comm.

Let me say it again: We have 500 people watching this comm. And 442 members.

On May 6, 2012, when this bar was opened, we had 4 (and yes, those four consisted of your beloved mods who saw a little film called Avengers and had some feelings and just wanted a place to find some fic and geek out.)

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I hereby declare it to be Friday one day early. Bring me your squee, your flail, your randomness, your Renner Problems, your Scarlett Feelings, your team!shawarma love, your pics, your gifs, your thinky thoughts, your what-the-heck-ever you like. Today is a day of jubilee, my friends.

I love everyone in this bar.

Exactly. Oh, and I think it was at Disneyland of all places.

Still, there are some pretty stiff penalties now from what I understand.

Edited to add...I know, I de-lurk for the most ridiculous discussions, but I've been cracking up at everyone's shenanigans for the last few days. I adore you all!

yeah, wow, that was a while ago too. about three years ago the governator of california signed a bill that allows the legal action against obtaining of photos and recordings in an illegal fashion (i think johannson was part of that and probably, a catalyst). there are only a small number of states in the US that have things of the sort in place. yet, the prevailing 'interest' of hungry masses who, imo are just being brainwashed by media outlets, condone the abhorrent behaviour or sit idly by and consume them through various ways. those awful 'entertainment news' programmes, tmz, inside outside access of tofurkey... you know, i don't give a shit what they had for lunch on thursday with whoever it was they sat at a table with. for me the bottom line is: do you entertain me and do i like it when you do? if the answer is yes then it should stay in that arena. just be pretty and intriguing on my screen. that's all i need from you.

<http://www.paparazzi-reform.org/>paparazzi-reform.org has an interesting approach but i'm sure there are other organisations out there advocating for the privacy of human beings who just so happen to have a job everyone knows about.
