Super injunctions

So pretty much everyone is aware of the couple involved. So why is this being pursued still.

    1. Waste of time
    1. Needed to protect celebs private lives

It’s privacy for sale, isn’t it? Nice if you’ve got the dough to be able to afford it.

You’re right though. At this stage it’s just there to stop anyone from publishing what is already known.

I guess they have a place when the press are being genuinely intrusive, however if Ryan Giggs wants to stop the publication of a story about boning his brothers missus, then no.

Anyway, I’ve missed this. who boned who

Is this in the public interest? If it wasnt a “celebrity” would anyone give a fuck? Maybe Sun readers I supposed.

Leave it…just LEAVE IT! …and anyway we haven’t been Swingers for years. :lou_angry:

I don’t think any of us want to see our founder and hero dragged away, beaten up and bankrupted by legal cases over the naming of individuals, so let’s just leave it there.

Other than to say that Pap should check the gale warnings in future - it seems to me he’s lived his life wearing sandals in the wind.

Celbrities love the public when they’re being adulated but when they do something wrong they don’t want the public to know, you can’t have it both ways Mr Dwight!!!

Pap, am I allowed to do that or will you be incarcerated for life??

I do not think it really is in the public interest in this couples case. Who slept with who isn’t that interesting. I hear enough stuff at work to write a soap opera!

Maybe there is a need for us to know at certain times. I’ve not read much about it but understand said couple had an open relationship. The other couple then wanted to sell the story. If you are off having additional people involved in your relationship maybe pick your partners better?

Anyway probably best not to say who we think it is. Otherwise pap will have a large legal bill. :lou_lol:

I’ll probably be skinter than I’d like for something I don’t actually give a fuck about on a detail level.

I don’t care who is fucking who for what reason.

In the abstract, it does seem rather a shame that so much of our justice system is tied up with it, and that we’ve got a two-tier privacy system.

Am I the only one who:

a) has no idea what celeb story this is refering to

b) who the celebs are

c) really does not give a flying fuck about who it is or who they a fucking…

also who/what the fuck are the kardashians and should I need to know?

As for privissy laws - should be a basic human right, unles sreally in the public interest. Eg. politician shagging secretary - none of my business, Politician who claims ‘back to basics and spouts moralistic shite’ shagging secretary is in public inerest

Celebs doing anything is not in public interest - there are some sad fucks who think its important… and sadly a lot of them , but they are all cunts so why worry about they think

Ultimately, its a ‘people have sex’ story - big fucking deal… :lou_facepalm_2:

That’s a bit specist, if you don’t mind me saying. While there have been some right bastards, they’re not all the same.

Damar! Hero of Cardassia!

For me it isn’t a question of it being in the public interest, it’s that the justification for the injunction was that it would embarrass their kids. I’d suggest possibly refraining from that sort of behaviour in the first place if your kids are your primary concern.

Somewhat symplistic ‘hypo’ - Adults doing Adult things does not make you a bad parent, and our perpsectivesonsuch things tend to be clouded by cultural and religious references, so matter how deepy buried, asopposed to our natural biological ones… If anything, ensuring your children are not exposed to all behaviours until tehy are old enough to understand is a sign of better parenting?

I just dont think we need to know who is shagging who, seriously, it is of nobodies business

Ultimately I couldn’t give a flying fuck what some shite “celebrity” is doing with their lives. Simply don’t care. They are no-one. No more so than all the members of this forum, than my family, my friends. They are human beings, and no more special than anyone else.

I fucking hate celebrity for the sake of celebrity. Sure, you’re gonna be famous if you’re world-class (or at least very fucking good) at what you do. Be that playing football, acting, fucking up countries, or whatever. But I do not give a fuck about your (their) personal life, and it saddens me that there is sooo much utter ‘celebrity’ dross on TV, in the papers etc. We’re fucking saturated by it.

But – if you go out of your way to court such publicity, and lap it all up, the fame, the adulation, the autograph hunters…

then you effectively put yourself on a pedestal. Can’t have it both ways. I don’t agree we should ‘pry’ into people’s private lives – but when they go out of their ways to flaunt themselves in the media seeking public affections and chasing fame and red carpet treatment at Film premiers and all that glitzy bullshit – then they have to take the otherside of that coin when the shit hits the fan.

For me, our press should be free. I know it isn’t, and the reality is - it is tightly controlled for the most part (when powerful people do not want us to know certain things) – but you can’t live the high life and lap up the media limelight when it suits, and then threaten a life ruining ‘Carter-Rucking’ to anyone who says things that you don’t like about you when it comes back and bites you on the aris.

The obsidian order means there is no need for super injunctions anyway - they instantly quosh and stories relating to Guls getting together and playing ’ sticky spoon’
