The Bugger, Bugged

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

For anyone not yet aware of it this is the sting of the year so far.

Hats off to Hugh Grant for taking the bull(shitters) by the horns and, to use his own inimitable vernacular, buggering the buggers. I laughed until I was almost sick. Messrs Cameron (yes, that one), Wade (nay Brooks) et al will be choking on their buttered scones.

It still seems petulant to me. How does Mr. Grant expect to change attitudes if he adopts the same tactics? It's not exactly "giving them a taste of their own medicine" - paparazzi have no conscience or shame, so it just highlights to them the effectiveness of their methods. Hugh would have had far more impact and gained more sympathy if he'd just snotted the guy. Russell Crowe would have. Mel Gibson would have. Oh hang on though, they're Aussies, aren't they? Well what about Oliver Reed then? Little doubt what he would have done!
