New Wireless App: Celebrity Mugshots
I've never gotten into it here on Techdirt, but I'm somewhat anti-celebrity. We humans tend to devote way too much time and energy on stars and their lives. I find awards ceremonies like the Oscars the biggest irony of all, because it takes the most over-celebrated bipeds in the world, and is a gala to...celebrate them more! It's all the more ironic that the writers who actually create good ideas are feted off-screen before the main event. Anyhow, that's why I enjoy a bit of schadenfreude with this new wireless application, celebrity mugshots as mobile phone wallpaper, which offer keepsakes of celebrity run-ins with the law. It's like The Smoking Gun for your phone. Turns out celebs are basically normal people, just a little prettier than average - although the mugshots cast even that advantage in doubt.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
