I was at work tonight and saw this 20/20 or Daine Sawyer specail on this guy that was stalking Bjork. This guy videotaped himself constucting a bomb and his mental demise. He eventually kills himself on videotape (which they don't show) and mail the bomb which is intercepted by Scotland Yard. I'm sure there is someone here on the TFP that has heard about this but I didn't get to watch the whole show.It was eerie to watch this guy on the tape.

Do you think this is a justified price for being famous having weird fools worship you? ( I don't mean that people should be stalked for being famous by no means they deserve a normal life just like anyone else. Just wondering what others that by that staement)

Can anyone fill in the blanks for me?

this happend a few years ago, the guy was VERY MUCH against Bjork Dating Tricky because he was black. It also helps that the guy was a wee bit bonkers. Sad Sad event that happened then, but to answer your question; no. No one should be stalked, not matter how famous they are.

icelanders have a thing for dark skinned people... from a slight fascination to a downright obsession...

10% of people in america are stalked. Just thought I'd throw that crazy figure out there.

10%? That must represent strange statistics. Multiple stalkers for famous people (like the 10,000 for George W., aka., the Secret Service).

I wish I knew who my stalker is...

I love bjork, I'm going to marry her one day whether she likes it or not. She will be by my side I don't care if I have to blow myself up to get her attention.

ok on a serious note, no-one should be stalked. I think it's more noticeable with famous people because the media stalks them constantly as well.

I don't think you can do any better than this guy. A very funny song.

see that video before and i watched it last night, too. Wow- so close to getting it delivered to her door. Too bad that guy chose to handle it in such a severe way.


Bjork kicks ass, too.

bjork is a hottah

Someone tell me how he was stalking her if he never met her? Also the guy is insane. THe thing i dont get is i believe that stat on # of people stalked is very misleading what is their definition of being stalked?

I saw some of it. Disturbing to say the least. I wouldn't say he was a stalker, just overly obsessed. And quite screwed up too.

Easytiger

Sorry, but she belongs to me.

86% of statistics are made up on the spot. Where did you get this crazy figure from, exactly?

Yeah that guy was all screwed up. Scary. I don't think anyone should ever be stalked but being in the public eye brings out those who have no others in their lives and attach all their wants and longings to those that they believe they have a "relationship" with. When the relationship is realized to go unfulfilled the stalkers seek to remove their victims from being in contact with anyone ever if they can't have them. The mind is a scary place. A misfired neuron here, there a chemical imbalance. Bam tragedy.
