Hollywood Trying To Get A Special Anti-Party Crashing Law
from the party-poopers dept
Apparently, the movie studio execs in Hollywood who brought you such classic films as The Wedding Crashers only likes to glorify the idea of crashing parties when it’s not their parties. They’ve evidently convinced politicians representing the state of California that rather than fixing some of the massive problems with the bankrupt state, they should create a special new form of trespassing law to stop party crashers. Essentially, the movie studios are upset that people kept sneaking into their big awards shows and related events, and they don’t feel that existing trespassing laws are enough, so they want to throw such party crashers in jail for six months. Nice to know that Hollywood, and the politicians who work for Hollywood, have their priorities straight.

No more old stories of how someone famous sneaked into a party to get noticed for the first time I guess.
Tsk Tsk
Thing is a lot of those party crashers aren’t crashing the parties because they actually want to get into the event but are crashing for the bragging rights. Sure upping the punishment will scare some away but chances are it will excite the thrill seekers and braggers even more.
But yes the real shame is that politicians think that protecting Hollywood parties is more important than small stuff like budgets, crime, health care, etc….
Re: Tsk Tsk
I agree.
Not to mention the California is facing severe budget constraints as it is, so they think they need to spend more taxpayer money to confine trespassers longer?
Yeah, that’s sensible.

I’ve just spent about twenty minutes laughing at your profile pic. That has to be one of the most disturbingly hysterical images I’ve ever seen….
going rate
Politicians can be bought to do anything!
Does anyone have a current price list??
Re: going rate
Did you check Craigslist or Ebay? Usually they have a buy it now price if you don’t want to bid.
Re: Re: going rate
Also, I hear they’re on sale, 50% off, on Craigslist.
Re: going rate
In the telecom industry around 12 million dollars will get your legislation through as that is roughly the amount spend by AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and others on lobbying.
Google, Facebook and others come behind with 3 million dollars together more or less.
Re: Re: going rate
It also depends on the politician. I hear governors cost more than house of representatives but less than senators.
It’s California’s largest industry, of course the politicians are going to listen to them. That’s what they’re there for, to listen to their constituents..
The same thing happens for the auto industry in Michigan or the farmers in Iowa.

FTFY

I think the 39 million other people in California outnumber Hollywood in terms of constituency.
Re: Re: Constituents
Perhaps if we can educate enough voters we can force current politicians to have a going out of business sale. Instead of 50% off, you can buy a politician for 75% off.

Tuna should have said that they’re there to listen to their *paying* constituents.

Well, no. That may be the way they’re behaving, but that’s not their purpose.
Phewww!
For a while there, I was afraid America might face a shortage of morons after we elected Mr. Obama…fortunately, Hollywood has stepped up to fill the void.
Overcrowding
Perhaps someone should remind CA lawmakers that Lindsay Lohan just got out of a 90 day sentence after two weeks because the prisons are already overcrowded. Party crashing is obviously a bigger threat to the public safety than DUIs.
Re: Overcrowding
They don’t want party crashers at Lohan’s getting out party!
Obviously the state should just provide a battalion of national guardsmen to serve cheese platters and keep out the riff-raff. Every b-rate celeb, and associated pack of agents and managers, is a national treasure. So when they get done from a hard day of imitating someone who actually did something in real life, they deserve to enjoy their cocaine and hookers without it being soiled by some gate crashing commoner.
Offense: Dismaying the Self-Righteous
That’s exactly what California needs in its fiscal crisis: more prisoners incarcerated for victimless crimes.

What? You call being exposed to the presence of commoners “victimless”?

Ugh… God damn it! I always tell myself when I see the headline and some of the ridiculousness of them. I say: ‘Self, I says… Don’t read it, it’s just going to end up pissing you off, but I always say… Naw I says… it can’t be that bad can it…’ It is always this bad… What a crock o $#!*! Is this really that big of a problem?! Let me predict the future… The Movie studio’s and Celebrities will end up being the Royalty of the US of A. They shall be kept from the common folk and we shall be allowed to eat cake only by their good graces and by the under standing from legal department that by being told we are allowed to eat cake, does not actually entitle us to eat an actual cake and that any reference to such a comment could land us 10 days in the stocks, and sued for 100 million kagillion dollars.
Re: Its a problem
no one said anything about royalty, its simply a law in favor of operant psychology (Behavior is governed and shaped by its punishment) to deter these “criminals” from committing these acts.
Bad Hollywood,
No Cookie!!!
