You don't mess with McConaughey. You mess with McConaughey? His posse will git you.
It all started last weekend when some paparazzi ('paproids', apparently) pursued dad-to-be Matthew while he was surfing. According to Rush & Malloy:
The actor was surfing at Paradise Cove when a group of paparazzi
arrived on the beach and started snapping away. The surfers told the
"paproids" to leave and got physical when they didn't, allegedly
breaking one lensman's nose and throwing his camera into the sea. The
attack was, of course, recorded.
It gets worse.
Video of incident was posted at paparazzi site X17, and a cyber-rumble has since broken out between paps and surfers, all of whom are egging each other in comments and promising to meet at the same spot to settle the score mano a mano (or would that be camera to surfboard? Am unclear on the details.)
More than 1,000 angry back-and-forth comments between the lensmen
and the surfers have been logged, including one urging paparazzi to
"rendezvous next Saturday in the same spot. 50 paps are going to meet u
there. Good luck and enjoy the high waves." A surfer responds, "Bring it on, paps. It will be the end for you on the beach. Saturday is on."
The spat has also, apparently, turned somewhat racist, as the mostly white surfer crowd takes on the paparazzi community, which includes many members from immigrant communities (the racist commentary cuts both ways: "I'm a pap," one wrote. "I've made $94K a year and I'm only four
months into it ... because stupid white trash people like your fat
mother buy the magazines. We hunt the very people you worship for no
reason.")
CRAZY. It's like some twisted variation on Point Break, except with the surfers busting cameras and protecting celebrities instead of robbing banks. (Matthew McConaughey, btw? Could totally play that Patrick Swayze role. Somebody needs to do a remake, stat.) My money's on the paparazzi, though. Those dudes have grappled with Britney, people. Surfers will be nothing.
