Dear lord. Don't they understand that this is why some stars are so reluctant to be anywhere near their fans - because those fans are constantly showing themselves to be creepy, t-shirt smelling, breaking-entering-and stealing little jerks? If they like the band so much, the least they could do is have some respect for their privacy and maybe see if they could gain items like that through *asking* - or maybe just be satisfied with the autographs and other signed things that are available legitimately? And, using your position to get items like that? That's just sick. *shakes head*

Hmm, found this page and it seems that the items were collected after the band had left, which does make the situation a bit better. But still. I've heard and seen interviews where famous people admit that this sort of thing creeps them out - and I have to admit it would creep *me* out if someone was going nuts over my napkin, of all things.

And, as one poster pointed out: Here's the thing... I don't know many hotels that say to the cleaning staff...
"hey, this was left behind... want it?" That is unprofessional and not the proper way to run a upstanding hotel. I do think it's sort of unprofessional, but the sad thing is, I can so see it happening.

But they're not real people! Didn't you know that? Stars are just toys, who exist solely to give jerkoff material to their "adoring" admirers. Surely you don't expect them to have any privacy, autonomy or any of those other pesky rights, do you?

Next thing you know, you'll be telling us there's something wrong with stealing the keys to their houses and making copies so we can sneak in and roll around in their sheets when they're out of town. Party-pooper!

	Didn't someone auction off a piece of half-eaten toast from one of the Backstreet Boys a while back? And it sold for a huge amount of money? I remember hearing about this somewhere... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That's rich! What some people won't be duped into. How the hell did they know it wasn't someone else's toast? Did they get a certificate of authenticity from the busboy? Or did they run the thing through DNA testing? ROFLMFAO! Excuse me while I retrieve my eyes - I'm sure they rolled under the desk here somewhere... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lord have mercy...

But, I guess it could be worse. I remember on Behind the Music, about the Red Hot Chili peppers, that a girl went backstage with her friends and found Flea's sweaty underwear on the floor. She picks it up, squeezes the sweat out of the underwear and DRINKS IT!!!!!!!1111131`3`3211. Then, she says, "Now a part of him will always be inside of me!"

Christ...
