He knows he's going to get slapped with a fine or something, but in the meantime he's fixing a bad PR scenario by using humor to pimp his new movie instead.

"I'm being chased by Woody Harrelson while I'm talking to you," the photographer says as he talks to an unidentified person on a cell phone.
Usually you are being chased by things behind you, not in front of you. Lying dickhead.

Most people have very limited conversations with "unidentified" people. I wouldn't be surprised if the photog wasn't in on the game too.
Yep. Definitely a pr stunt.

I find the anti-zombie sentiment in this thread unacceptable.

I bid you good-day.

Wanna bet? I believe Alex Baldwin won his case when he smacked a paparazzi for taking pictures of his new baby when they came home from the hospital.

IMO, paparazzi cause more trouble than they are worth. Look what happened to Princess Di. Yes, actors are public people, but that does not mean they aren't entitled to some privacy as well. IMO, all they owe us is their best performance, or whatever it is that they do for a living. They should not have to put up with being stalked so someone can sell their picture to the highest bidder.

I think sometimes paparazzi want to be attacked just so they can file suits for outrageous damages. $2.5 million? for being decked and a camera being injured? Are you fucking kidding me? You can beat the shit outta me for that kind of money.

Stop buying their products and having interest in these knuckleheads and their lives and all will be solved. Oh wait that would require the general public to....
Nevermind - as you were.

Agreed.

When did the peoples right to know become the peoples right to stalk you wherever you are and publish even the most personal of activities? Stalking is illegal. I thought.........All zombies want are brains anyway, and you have to protect your daughter from stalking zombies. It's just a fact. :p That zombie got off easy I think. You usually have to light them on fire and remove the head right?

Something like that. Or is that vampires?

The stalking laws are not strong enough in this country.

They may still try and put the camera viewfinder to the empty eyesocket. That can't work well.
