Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Paparazzi

They make a living by selling their photographs to media outlets that focus on tabloid journalism and sensationalism, such as gossip magazines.

paparazzi (n.) 1961, from Italian Paparazzo (plural paparazzi) surname of the freelance photographer in Federico Fellini's 1959 film "La Dolce Vita."The surname itself is of no special significance in the film; it is said to be a common one in Calabria, and Fellini is said to have borrowed it from a travel book, "By the Ionian Sea," in which occurs the name of hotel owner Coriolano Paparazzo. ---> yeah I bet, what a convenient cover story. Any Italians in here can tell me what the suffix -razzi or -razzo mean? translate.google thinks it's Croatian or some shit. I know what "papa" means....

I'm convinced that the "paparazzi" are merely "watchmen" working for the [cabal], whether the actual photographers know it or not, to make sure their minions (celebrities and anyone famous really) cannot go off in secret to do something "unsanctioned" by them, such as ask for help or meet in a SCIF, without these blowhards blabbing to the world what they're doing, where they go, who they meet etc.
