The papparazzi get more and more vicious every day. I'm not just referring to the infamous case of pop duo Twins being filmed in their changing room, but imagine the ruckus that comes up every time some artiste is caught doing this or that. True, we might like a peek into a star's life, to remind ourselves they're just human like the rest of us, but...
I'm no Twins fan, but I'll state it clearly here: no one deserves to have their privacy invaded like this, and nothing whatsoever gives you the right to do so. If justice is eventually executed by beating the photographers responsible to a pulp, they had it coming. Or the eye-for-an-eye method--what if someone filmed the papparazzi in the shower? I for one would enjoy the media circus, though an overhaul of industrial practices would be stretching credulity a little.
This highlights the twisted lengths some technology-armed fanatics eager for exclusive scoops and/or a quick buck will go to. I don't care whether feeding your family depends on the latest expose you bring to light, but providing for your livelihood at the expense of another human being's dignity, and having no shame about doing so, is an outright, inexcusable wrong. I'd feel great if someone inside the Hong Kong press stood up, tooted his whistle, and called, "THIS IS WRONG!"
I don't know if I would or not. I don't yet have a rice bowl to put at stake. But when personal security and the right thing to do clash, God help us to do what He wills.
