Funny How The World Works
Yesterday, I poked some fun at George Clooney. Today he’s in the news - you just can’t make this stuff up. It seems he is having a battle with an on-line celebrity site called gawker.com. Gawker has started a service (I use the term loosely) to track celebrity sightings in real time. Aptly named Gawker Stalker maps combine tips sent in to the site with Google mapping technology. Fans can keep track of their favorite celebrities. Some publicists have complained vociferously, warning that this could possibly make it easier for real stalkers to track celebrities down.
Clooney on the other hand has come up with a different strategy: Bombard the gawker site with fake sightings.
"A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this Website is worthless," Clooney wrote, per the New York Post, which first leaked the email Friday. "No need to try to create laws to restrict free speech. Just make them useless. That’s the fun of it."
We here at Blue Crab Boulevard are not sure as to what Mr. Clooney was trying to say. Does he want to make free speech useless? Or the laws against free speech? But we digress.
Our intrepid magic 8-ball photographer has obtained (yet another) exclusive photo! Here we see Clooney proudly leading an army of clones, on their way to many locations in New York City to put Clooney’s master plan to work.
The gawker should be afraid…..
