This is a link post Just How Much Of A Clown Is Julian Asshat?
Quite a lot, it would appear.

In this article, the floppy-haired cunt argues that tapping the phones of celebrities and splashing the information over the tabloid newspapers is both just and moral. He comes to this conclusion by arguing that it's done in the name of "public interest" and further argues that the public interest is defined as anything the public is interested in.

Yes. Quite. Fuck-off and die Assange.

Cheers

This is a normal post If someone tries to throw their life in my face 24/7
e.g. celebrities, trying to tell me how great and wonderful and special they are, and how they play a much more important role in society than I could ever imagine, how perfect and happy their life is, then when all that shit about them being a racist cunt who leaves rude rants on peoples answering machines comes out, I find it fucking hilarious. But I do strongly disagree with the tapping of peoples phones. I think we need to sort our priorities out, maybe decide what is fucking important in our lives and stop filling it with endless drivel. Then we can stop tapping peoples phones. Until then, I want to see more of them cry......

This is a normal post i think its perfectly within everyone's rights to portray any image of themselves they want.
We all try to control the way we are seen every day. Its no different for celebrities - except that it's a part of their job.
Revelling in 'famous' people's dirty laundry is just tall poppy syndrome.

This is a normal post fuck off an die?
bit harsh.

tbh celebs are celebs cos they want celebrity, they want us to buy their stuff, watch them play footy, cook etc, and make them famous. so they open up their lives to us and let us in, then they do a naughty and its all "oh, noes, my private life, please mr judge wont you think of poor old me/my family." Crass.

The other thing with injunctions is that there are loads more that we don't even know about, we only hear about the celeb ones...

"http://mirror.wikileaks.info/wiki/Guardian_still_under_secret_toxic_waste_gag/"

"It is not the only one. Last month, the Guardian revealed that it had been served with 10 secret gag orders—so-called "super-injunctions"— since January. In 2008, the paper was served with six. In 2007, five. Haven't heard of these? Of course not, these are secret gag orders; the UK press has given up counting regular injunctions."

This is a normal post You're Missing The Point....
Assange, apart from being an *incredible* hypocrite with a messiah complex, wants the "public interest" to be whatever the public is interested in and so, anyone who comes into the press's radar, automagically loses any right, to any privacy whatsoever. Don't forget, it's largely the press who decide who is or isn't newsworthy.

Take her "Royal Hotness" Pippa Middleton. Is she fair game? Just because her sister married an inbred?

Justifying phone tapping on the grounds that someone is "famous" is sick. And, where do you draw the line, if anywhere? Suppose me and my mates in the pub decide that we're interested in the new family that's moved into the area. We're part of the public, we're interested in them so, according to Asshats arguments, we'd be completely justified in tapping their phones, reading their mail and hacking their computers. Information wants to be free.

And, to justify the hypocritical slur, can you remember when Assange screamed like a virgin when the Guardian published details of Swedish allegations against him? For a media-whore like him to object to the publication really took the biscuit.

Cheers
