If we are high profile, and base ourselves on a particular "backstory" then we can expect that any incongruety in that area may be exposed in due course. The confirmation that we do in fact live normal lives is unlikely to figure in that rung of importance, and so a picture of a celebrity eating a sandwich is unlikely to be justified unless it is Flipper eating a sandwich where the tuna isn't dolphin-friendly.<br /><br />As has been said before, there is a difference between those things the public are interested in and the smaller subset that is the public interest. The pursuit of the first is about money; the second has a more laudable basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
