The Many Closets of the Famous!

The famous are known to customise their lifestyle by choice, or not to please the most of their public, if they want more public they adapt more lifestyles, or even the different lifestyles they show from one instance to the next in fact who can tell when the famous switch is always stuck in rehearsal mode. Is there a doctor for that? [Rhetorical]

The media like clockwork are zooming in at any colour change these famous chameleons make, then like magic the chameleons blend in the masses and environment, until the closets from every lifestyles of each chameleon are opened one by one.

Is anybody bored yet? You've seen all the colours, and it's still a bunch of chameleons!

I did hear of scientists trying to make a chameleon change transparent [see trough]. Now that would be a first.

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear?

I expect the Daily Mail reading retardicons are still repeating that mantra. However, this is proof (if it were ever needed) that we'd all prefer to hide our personal information from the very sort of people that would quite like to have a look at it.

maybe it could be snooped for MP's details?

then, at least, they could be brought to justice by an old fashioned lynch mob because the justice system is doing nothing about it!

Public database

If the government likes these databases so much, why not create a real public one, similar to Wikipedia? The bar tender takes the MP's fingerprint from the glass before cleaning it, the bank clerk fills in the financial information, and the kindergarten worker adds the saucy details about the MP's unsocial spawn.

Freedom Information ?

It's sad when people of poorer third world nations have more freedom than those of us having their every move/action recorded into a data base by an info power pig nation.

I have to ask.

How do discipline or Prosecute the Staff who haven't been caught rifling the database, or do they get off scot free? :(

The solution is obvious

Just remove celebrities, politicians, rich people and other importans peeps from the database.

Wow, unexpected ... NOT

Every year, everyone should get a report that details all accesses to their information on this (and other) government database, with a reason. I.e., you might understand seeing a search when you applied for a new bank account or a mortgage. Thus fishing expedition searches would stand out and could be queried. It's called a basic check and balance, something that government doesn't appear to understand.

What about the MP's?

Should they be sacked for stealing public money and defrauding the government? It's sick how 'important' people get away with things like this while this poor chap was probably looking up the address and date of birth for a celeb to send him/her a birthday card!

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
