Unbeleivable! >:( As you rightly said, it,s despicable. I sincerely hope no more gutter trash comes out like that.Have these people no morals, or respect atall? I can,t beleive all this crap is coming out already. Poor Heath hasn,t even been buried yet. They make me sick the lot of them.  >:( >:( >:(

Souxi, I agree, but this is how tabloids make money. And they have done it for years and years and years. It is not something that was invented with Heath's death.

IMHO it doesn't make any difference if the person an RPS story is written about is alive or dead. Either you find it okay to write/read fake (sex) stories about a real person or not. I don't like them, but that's just me. I wouldn't want to read fake (sex) stories about me in the internet either, and even less if I was a well known person.

I think Louise puts it very well. I really think that this discussion is about HOW we see the celebrity we take an interest in. Can we accept papz pictures? Well, most people say that the papz are horrible but they still read magazines - some claim that they read those mags just waiting for the dentist..... ::)......Other accept writing stories about them......What is more wrong?If the Cele feels invaded by the papas but don't care about the stories - he don't have to read them - what hurts the most?

Now I say Good Night, it's 00.53 here....looong past bedtime  ;)

I realise it yes, I worry that other people believe that however.  ;)

--- Quote from: ENEN on February 02, 2008, 02:46:51 pm ---Yes, IMO, I think that illustrates the problem with RPS.  I think to many of them Heath was never real and that's why they think they can write anything about him without thought to the consequences it may have on his family, friends and even some fans.  As Louise pointed out it is about respect for the individual which RPS lacks.

So you assume his family comes on-line to read RPS on BBslash??

Well I suppose that is a valid argument given the number of legal action taken against certain authors who only wrote BBM fan fiction. I see your point, you just never know who is watching, be it Focus Features or Michelle herself who reads Brokeback boards and fan sites.
