The Queen is Dead -- Long Live the Queen

Best song on 2112.

 

Everyone Was Trying To Figure Out Who This Guy In A "Disguise" Was At The Coronation, And Now He's Been Identified

 

The whole coronation BS was so stupid and boring even the controversy turned out to be stupid and boring.

 

I don't know. But maybe, if I'm a member of the paparazzi community, doesn't it strike me sometime in the two-hour car chase that I'm running down Diana's son? I mean ... damn.

 

Or that a two hour chase in London seems improbable.

 

NEW YORK CITY?! ... get a rope ...

IYKYK

 

So I saw some video of Harry, Meghan and her mom getting into the SUV to leave the event. It had limo-tint windows so dark that you can't see into the vehicle. So what were the papps allegedly trying to do? Follow them to the hotel? Block the SUV and force them out of it? And if they nearly hit two NYPD officers, did they get pulled over and cited?

 

A two-hour car chase in Manhattan? Sure. How far did they go, 12 blocks?

 

If you follow the guy’s chain of quotes, this keeps getting walked back piece by piece, starting with the fact it is physically impossible to have a two-hour high speed chase inside NYC.

 

Having been in that game for a decade years ago I have some experience with this sort of thing...and what I don't understand is how it pencils out anymore for the paps.

I mean, with literally every single person on the island of Manhattan having in their possession a phone with a camera at all times, and every outlet on the Internet publishing all manner of photos from said citizens...what's the point in spending hundreds of dollars to chase these people around for a couple of hours? From last night alone I've seen probably 200 photos already...and I can't imagine any publisher anywhere paid more than $25 for any one pic.
The whole industry is a dinosaur now.
