    Not going to share the link, you can see it for yourself under the somewhat questionable headline 'Celebrity News'.

    Anyway, the indo website is running an article on a well known singer and her 3 year old kid in Dublin, and the "news" is that they went to a playground. What makes it particularly objectionable is that the website is publishing a photo of the lady and her child playing in the playground; photos that are clearly taken from some distance away, blurred, when the subjects were turned the other way.

    People talk about new lows and so on; but personally I'm appalled that we have reached a point in Ireland where a paparazzi can take photos of other peoples kids in a playground, and a national newspaper like the Indo doesn't see any issue with this. Playground rules, while they are not the law of the land, normally make it quite clear that an adult should not approach a playground unless they are with children themselves.

    Really?
    Who cares? It celeb news. It's trash.
    It's not like he went climbing in through their bedroom window

    Aside from that, why can't an adult approach a playground with no children in tow?
    Is every adult not accompanied by a child, going to rape and **** off to the kids or something?
