The scum of the earth ?
Are the current day paparazzi the scum of the earth ?
I guess it would depend on who you are. If you are an avid reader of the tabloids or lover of everything Hollywood, then I imagine you love the paparazzi. If you are a normal person, then you probably hate the paparazzi.
The paparazzi in Los Angeles are like vultures. Even Britney Spears (who makes her living by being noticed) has had enough. Look here:

I do not like the paparazzi as I think they are completely useless BUT the government should not be regulating it. One man’s paparazzi is another man’s journalist. If we start regulating paparazzi it will not be long before the freedom of the press is infringed upon.
