Yo bro, don't be a ho

I don't get celebrities. The very nature of their lifestyle invites observation, adoration and emulation. But they often just don't seem to get that - or they do, but don't agree and resist. Heh. Resistance is futile. But Prince has really decided to bite the hand that feeds him by pulling this stunt with his fans.

"His lawyers have forced his three biggest internet fansites to remove all photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to the artist's likeness. A legal letter asks the fansites to provide "substantive details of the means by which you propose to compensate our clients [Paisley Park Entertainment Group, NPG Records and AEG] for damages".

Prince. Dude. Order up a grande soy latte, sit the hell down for a minute and think about what you're doing.

P.S.: That image is a photo I vectorized at that Stanford link I mentioned yesterday...
