OMG, But What If Web-Stalkers Hurt Celebrities?

New York City-based writer (and Awl contributor) Emily Gould makes an novel point regarding OMGICU, the new forward-thinking website that invented the idea of community-reporting on the locations of celebrities in Manhattan: "I'm a little worried about this, you guys. Couldn't these sightings potentially help stalkers hunt down celebrities? I'm surprised no one has gotten killed yet. By stalkers."

I’m sure that someone from the site will be able to defend the practice in the event an interviewer ambushes them with this silly concern.

Easy, Em . . . Do a couple Ashtanga Sun Salutations and all will be right as rain . . .

I have to protest. I'd gone 18 months without Jimmy Kimmel ever crossing my mind.

Know what? Forget it. I'm over it.

This sounds like the kind of trend Larry King will do a show about.

I wouldn't worry. Celebrities are protected by piles of money.

This issue has always been completely misunderstood. The point is to channel the obsessive energies of stalkers, creepos and people with stalker tendencies into a socially useful form.

OMGICU or Gocker Stocker reports that celebrities are infesting your favorite bar?

Fine, you can use this information and go to another bar that doesn't attract celebrity-obsessed creepo blog feeders.

I hope that whoever from OMGICU has to defend the site is appropriately dismissive of the accusation.

And here I had forgotten about that trippy episode where Jimmy Kimmel forgot he is Jimmy Kimmel and thought he actually had something important to say. Also, I had forgotten how much I wanted to take Emily home and cuddle her (that last part is a lie, actually)

The lie being that I had forgotten. Emily, I am yours

If there was ever a doubt about Kimmel's unabated douchenozzelry, I submit his recent tongue bath of Billy Bob Thornton's ass (after Canada booed his REALLY IMPORTANT BAND off their tour). He's just a quick thyroid condition away from being as relevant as Carson Daly.
