  • Liking someone famous on Facebook – oh the sycophantic comments

    Sheesh 😯 I’m ‘friends’ with the singer Shirley Manson and some of the fawning, sycophantic praise really makes me gag. I’d ‘defriend’ her but shes quite pleasing on the eye. That said some of the comments lack any sort of shame. Do stars actually like this shit? Are they that arrogant?

    Anyone else??!

    the singer Shirley Manson

    Who?

    I thought that and then I thought the fact he’s had to put ‘the singer’ on the front might mean there were several famous Shirley Mansons. But I couldn’t think of any others either.

    Still, I’m sure hora’s suitably sycophantic when posting on her pages.

    Is it really her though or is it a fat middle aged man who’s registered the name? Most of the “name” facebook sites I’ve seen are fansites or at best “official site of”, with lots of facebook weirdos posting on it as if they’re having a chat with the person.

    I’m friends with a few iconic photographers and also some top end wedding photographers, and the fawning is just as bad. Often from people who really should know better.

    Northwind alot, like Lewis Hamiltons will be PR types etc managing their ‘message’ though.

    SM’s strikes me as being her. Weird but its not marketing ‘message/concert/release driven’- just stuff.

    Regina Spektor’s is like that too… Pages and pages of “LOL I haz a harry potter wand” and every so often “Oh yeah, I have an album out, I should probably promote that”.

    In defence of the weirdo posters:

    The brother of a friend of mine has quite significant brain damage from birth and another episode a few years back. He appears to be normally functioning if rather annoying, but he’s got major problems with comprehending people and relationships, and remembering stuff that you’ve told him. Quite unsettling actually when you find out how bad it is because at first he seems relatively normal.

    Anyway, he’s always friending these ridiculously ‘hot’ and possibly made up people on FB and talking as if he has been having a relationship with them. Mostly they are of the ‘please talk to me my darling, I just want to know you’re ok’ variety as they’ve blocked or de-friended him.

    There must be enough people out there with similar issues to populate the FB pages of famous people.

    I ‘liked’ Jess Ennis’ fb page & it appears to be just a marketing dream – ‘oh, look my new book is out’, ‘here are the dates of my book signing, be sure to buy a copy’, ‘my wonderful watch sponsors have just sent me this amazing watch. Buy yours from xxx for only £yyy

    Should have expected it really.

    I have a guy who manages my social media presence – it’s all about cultivating my personal brand.
    I’d link you to it, but that’s what I pay him for.

    Have you not got a page for your ‘brand’ Hora?

    You’re missing a trick

    Couple of bands I used to like and follow on facebook/twitter before they got big.

    Then I realised they only ever posted when they had a new album or a tour coming up so now I dont.

    Lewis Hamiltons will be PR types

    I’m pretty sure his twitter isnt a PR person. If it is they should be sacked. He is so full of shit it is unbelievable.

    EDIT: I would join/like The Official Hora Fan Club. If I had more time I would set it up then trawl through here for pictures. Alas I don’t.

    I just don’t get all this FB/Twitter/Social Media stuff being friends with someone who I will never know stuff.

    I prefer my friends to have flesh & blood and perhaps an actual pulse.

    The irony for most of us is we are FB friends with someone who is a an actual friend (once removed so to speak). Or at least you’ve had online ramblings with.

    Samuri took a pic of me on Sunday. He was purched by the side of the trail waiting for his riding buds to come down and I came through first. He posted up another pic on FB and I said ‘hey was that this Sunday’ and did you snap me?

    Yip. Coincidence 😆

    Maybe he was just trying to take advantage of you movie-star good looks, without paying the extortionate agency fees?
