I have to make a change to my post for clarification. The change is incorporated below, but here it is: I was talking about complaining to the gossip sites that buy or take the pics, such as Splash News, x17, WENN, etc etc. I was not suggesting to target the fan sites. I think most of you knew that, right?
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR JAKE'S SAKE
I don't think I am the only one who is sad for Jakey that he is being hounded continually by the paps. He's clearly unhappy (even depressed) in the pics, and I am very unhappy for him. It looks like he is stuck with this GDBOAUS and I had the idea that if all of his fans who feel bad for him banded together maybe we could effect a change. I dunno, but it's worth a try.
First of all, for all the paps and pap pics that are snapped of him, only a fraction ever get posted online, and thankfully Jakey has not been in the tabs up until now. At least not that I have seen (yet!). So what is the point of all this picture-taking? That I don't get.....
Ok, here's the idea: At all the gossip websites that post intrusive pics of Jake, such as Splash News, x17, WENN, etc etc. excluding the fan sites: IHeartJake, Jake Watch, Dave Cullen, EnnisJack, BetterMost and any other fan site. As many of us as will: post a comment to the effect that you object to the pic, why don't you leave Jake alone, this is harassment, I hope you get sued, etc etc etc., whatever comes to mind. I saw this yesterday at a site, x17 I think it was, and I added my 2 cents. If we bombard these sites with these kinds of comments, maybe it would make a diff? It can't hurt to try......
That's it. I hope a lot of you come on board!

If you are very specific about the sites (and especially if you provide clickable links) that will be helpful, I think. (For many of these sites hit count is critical, so if you visit them without protesting in some way, you're only helping them.)
You have to admit — we're all in a peculiar place on this issue, ethically. Many of the pics on this thread that we drool at (me included) and even crop or draw arrows to point out hot spots (<— a bit squicky IMO!) are paparazzi shots.
I don't purchase the piece 'o crap rags that print them, but still — I'm probably guilty on some level of being part of the masses at which the pap shots are aimed.

Yes, Janey, if you could post links to (or at least the names of) the offending sites, I/we would be much obliged. I'm with you though in that it makes me sad whenever I do see the kind of photo of which you speak - the kind in which he is obviously distressed. I've said many times here before that I don't think famous people owe us *anything* except perhaps the best work they can do at the time whenever they're filming movies/onstage/recording music/performing, etc. After that, their time is THEIR OWN. I'd be more than happy to go bitch at any site that crosses the line where posting those kinds of distressing/distressed photos are concerned.
Sure, we've drooled over some pap shots here, but generally they've been of the Jake-doesn't-appear-to-mind variety. To me, to make public in any way any photo in which the subject clearly didn't want the picture to be taken in the first place is just plain wrong and it pisses me off. I guess that last bit goes without saying.

yep, you are right Laura and Barb! I will collect the webby addresses and post links to them here, or on a new thread. This campaign idea just came to me this morning, but I have gone to most of the Jake sites and posted the same announcement already. This campaign needs lots of people.
