'Celebrities' and 'super injunctions'

[streaky]

Here's an idea. When a so-called celebrity is granted an injunction to prevent their 'privacy' being invaded (not that they mind when it's to their advantage, only when it shows them in a really bad light), the media should refuse to report anything about them! They'd soon get p155ed-off if their on-field exploits weren't making the headlines - Streaky

I quite like that idea

Perhaps we could extend it to their other halves, as that might be privacy invasion by proxy?

What about a blanket injunction to prevent any reporting on "celebrities" whatsoever? That way we wouldn't be bombarded daily with the banal, trivial and largely contrived antics of a bunch of up-themselves talentless tossers.

Good idea, They must accept a total media ban e.g advertising aswell.

Even better idea - only grant them when really necessary and not just some self-important personage trying to hide their misdeeds from the public (and sponsors) gaze.

I pretty much achieve this. I do not read newspapers, and am selective in my choice of other media. It is quite possible to avoid 'celebs' if you so wish.

Doesn't Mandelson have a blanket injunction on his private life?

If you'd heard the rumours about the state of his blankets you would understand the need for an injunction
