Ex Beatle Ringo Starr - No More Autographs

This is a great tale for all those of you looking for an autograph from one of the beatles, dont bother sending your photo to Ringo Starr because apparently he has had enough of his fans, and posted a message on his website.
The former Beatles drummer has made an appeal for fans, supporters to stop sending him fanmail and requests for autographs and has warned everyone that he isnt signing autographs any more.
he posted a video on his website and said that as of October 20 he will officially retire his signature and stop responding to mail. what tosser you are ringo starr - you are just a drummer, and not even a legendary one at that, you got lucky by getting into the band in the first place, and your massive ego exposes you for what you are - a miserable old man!


Flashing the peace sign repeatedly (why would you do this - peace sign - get real, we are not hippies in the 1960's) and littering his speech with the phrase “peace and love”, Starr announced: “This is a serious message to everyone watching my update right now. Peace and love. Peace and love.
“I want to tell you, please, after the 20th of October, do not send fan mail to any address that you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that has the date on the envelope it’s going to be tossed.


“I’m warning you, with peace and love, but I have too much to do, so no more fan mail, thank you, thank you, and no objects to be signed – nothing. Peace and love, peace and love."


Scumbag misery Starr is still interested in taking your money though via his website (i mean he really needs it doesnt he)  in exchange for a range of Ringo Starr T-shirts, tote bags, hoodies and key rings available on his website - tell you what ringo, shove them up your arse!

ringo starr - miserable ex beatles who doesnt sign autographs - get real you were just a crap drummer!

Should A Reporter Get A Sports Stars Autograph On A Photo ?

I was reading a really interesting article regarding this subject of professionalism and etiquitte when it comes to boudaries regarding whether or not it was ethical for a reporter to be getting a photo autographed by a sports star. you can read more about this autograph photo story here
as i thought it was an interesting topic to discuss and perhaps elaborate on as the general boundaries ar eone that should be maintained as it can really annoy the patient fans who wait for their favourite sports star to sign a photo or simply autograph a piece of paper or a programme and not even a photo.

I think the ppoint of the story is that as a reporter you are supposed to be objective and impartial to a degree so the appearance that you maybe starstruck is perhaps a game you should not be giving away. now hey if its for your kids then i say go for it, but i reckon that if the sports star is just that - namely a star then my guess is that the autograph is for himself and not for one of his kids.

i mean imagine if the same thing was occuring for a politician, then that would be like putting your head on the block as to the viewing audience you would be nailing your colours to the mast, and like shouting hey i am a conservative, so how is it any different for a sports star?

simple, it isnt.
