[...] Surfers versus Paparazzi. My bet would be on the surfers. [...]

Lezgull, thanks for reminding me of one of the most unintentionally funny, poorly delivered lines in movie history. Of course, given that the line was delivered to Patrick Swayze, it takes on more poignancy now.

What is funny is that this incident blew open the “secret spot” way more than it ever would have if a couple mcconaghey surf pics got into US mag.

You’re right Lucinda.

These guys aren’t surfers, these guys are drunkards who sometimes surf.

Ummm, I don’t know. I surf once in a while and everyone is always super mellow, even as I flail around with my horrible inability to actually surf and thereby drop in on their wave. Whoever these “surfer gangs” are, I’ve never seen ‘em. It takes a lot to rile up the surfers I know.

I was there on Sunday with my family. A wonderful day, wonderful memories, all tainted now by stupid violence. Paparazzi are bottom feeders. On the other hand, the “Locals Only” guys are just a bunch of aggro-bigots who would just as well be attacking “Fags,” “Niggers,” or “Mexicans” if the Paparazzi weren’t so readily available.

I have no sympathy for the surfers nor the paparazzi, owing to the demeanour of Malibu in general as well as the fact that both groups make money off each other. But I did find it funny that when I clicked on the TMZ link to see the fight video, a Hersey’s commercial of people having a party on a beach was a bit hilarious.

I’m reminded of the movie “Point Break,” and the surfer gang (which included the Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis) that tries to kick Keanu’s ass for intruding on their beach.
