Touch and go it was, after all those silly spats of a few weeks back, but
fortunately this list - in the shape of the esteemed Mittelwerk above -
came good at the right moment with a stunning display of wholesome bad
taste amongst all the icky hypocritical "hang the photographers" cant. All
I was missing was a folksy sort of Pynchonesque segue into song, something
along the lines of a Camptown Races lookalike:
"Oh, you don't live long if you do Di, Dodi Dodi, dear..."
My subscription will not be cancelled, therefore, and I look forward to
much exploration of wild paranoid conspiracy theories behind "the crash of
the century". Move over Marilyn, there's a new kid on the block.
"The exorbitant price for the pictures which yesterday's Paris paparazzi
were seeking
was set by an obsessive worldwide appetite for any news about the lady.
If paparazzi are at one end of this sewer, at the other sits a
salivating,
prurient public. He among us that has no eye for such pictures, let
him first cast a stone. "
Simon Jenkins, The Times
Will.
