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??!

She does nothing for me.

I thought this was going to be about Lance.

someone should start someone for you Hora. Imagine the comments that would get.

I thought this was going to be about Lance.

I love you Lance

Go to bike, dust it down, get out more 😉

One direction:

our music is the cure to all my problems, once i have my headphones on and I sync into thee rythem of your AMAZING voices all my stresses and problems vanish,,,, I relax knowing everything will be okay…

and

There such amazing guys that have unique personalities. They never act different in there ways, they just are there crazy fun loving selves. There songs mean something close to what teenage girls &+ guys happend with there love lifes &+ looks. I love them sooo much that without WMYB &+ Little things i would never have felt beautiful

Wow.

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”.

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

I would be… (dribble)

Post or paste?

No – I don’t post on her page. The sycophancy royally puts one’ off 😆

😆 Harry The Spider, I’ve always noticed that about her.

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’m only friends with her as shes bloody cute. I don’t care what she says. Harry you gingerist!

I never read the articles comments either.

One direction…..and…..wow

So, you’re going on to teenage boyband facebook page and taking the piss out of what at was an 11 girl has probably posted up.

FTFY

You’re her ‘friend’ why not ask her?

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

*wanders off to set up fake “the Official Hora Fan Club” page on FB*

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.

you could be like those other middle aged women who set up and manage fan mail for the famous star(s) 😉

I can’t be. I’m old fashioned and have a principle of always being clothed when in front of a pooter

My god what a load of inane drivel spouted on there!

This statement applies equally & consistently to every single facebook page that has ever existed, exists today and ever will exist

😀

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.

there’s a pub on my way home named after you that I like to enter every now and then and pay homage

Brakes, there are a couple of Hora’s preferred specialist emporia just down the road as well, aren’t there?

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?

Someone nutter will be along in a minute to tell you to get with the times and that twitter’s really important

😀

get with the times

twitter’s really important

I thought it was the digital equivalent of phwapping off in front of a full length mirror?
