MTF Rant! Meg Ryan… Why Would Someone Draw A Line Instead Of Signing An Autograph! Say Wha?
OMG!
So, I normally reserve my MTF Rants for things that happen to me, but damn. I mean damn.
Meg Ryan was out and about and a friend of mine got her really low key. Apparently, she wasn’t the nicest person in the world, but did sign. Now… I don’t know what it is about people, but I understand why they would purposely ruin people’s things.
If you don’t want to sign, don’t do it. But to do this?
That’s like a line. Meg Ryan wrote a line on a photo? Like… why bother? This isn’t even a case of bad penmanship, this is just like a giant “screw off” to her fans.
Let’s face it, it’s not 1989 anymore. People are not crawling over themselves to run out and meet Meg Ryan. Times have changed and You’ve Got Mail is as dated as AOL.
The thing is though, if you clearly don’t want to sign, and you feel obligated to do it, fine. But a line? Really?
I just saw this and thought I would share it. It’s really just as bad as my Keira Knightley autograph on my Love Actually poster.
I just don’t understand why people would bother… Sigh…

Starting this website has been a labor of love. I love sharing my fandom experiences but more than that I love hearing everyone else’s stories. I love hearing about conventions, movie locations, meet celebrities good and bad, I love it all. I sincerely hope you enjoy my exploits, the adventures of everyone who submits an article, and all the members of the Fanboy Family! Without everyone who writes and reads MTF there wouldn’t be a site. This is truly for the fans, by the fans!

More and more performers are resorting to this or just doing initials. Personally I find it worthless and wont give room in my collection for. Its a short name Meg – put just a LITTLE more effort into it
You know, I’m actually okay with initials. I know a lot of people do that. If I can tell who it is, I’m generally okay. And I understand at premiere’s it’s harder with the chaos. but I hear you. I’m a collector and I hate junk in my collection. It’s funny too because I just got Salma Hayek and Rami both stunning autographs. And they look so nice when done right.
I think you need to stop compaining. If you harass celebrities when they are off duty, this is what you get and deserve. Also most people only ask for autographs so they can sell them, thas just tacky and I am glad to see a lot of celebs no longer want to play that game. They owe you nothing. If you see their movies or you listen to their music, that is your choice.
Also, if you are a collector, that means you are a collector, not so much a fan of the clebs you collect from.
Once again, when clebs are off duty, leave them alone. You wouldnt like to be garasse either if you’re just hanging out with friends, shopping, out with your kids and stuff like that.
I’ve never hear someone say, “I’m glad someone was an asshole.” A fascinating perspective, Ella. And no I don’t think I would like to be “garasse” whatever that this.
Asking for an autograph isn’t harassment, it’s a question. “Can I have an autograph?” See… A question. Mike didn’t specify what type of situation this was, so you have no idea TBH.
If it happened to you, I think you would feel the same way. There’s nothing wrong with being a “collector” either. In reality everyone in life collects, some people collect autographs, some people collect figurines, some people collect cats. There’s nothing wrong with it… I mean the cats can get messy, sure there’s that.
Bothering someone outside of a red carpet or official event IS harassing someone in my book. You people are not even fans, you collect autographs, most of you do it to sell them. Do not forget they owe you nothing when you do that and imho you need to stop complaining if a celeb signs badly or says no. Had she said no, you all would have said she was a biatch.
Ella are you for real?
The definition of Harassment: the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands. The purposes may vary, including racial prejudice, personal malice, an attempt to force someone to quit a job or grant sexual favors, apply illegal pressure to collect a bill, or merely gain sadistic pleasure from making someone fearful or anxious.
It’s not asking a question. “Can I have an autograph?” not harassment. If you’re a fan or a collector it makes no difference. The majority of collectors are fans and not everyone that gets an autograph sells it. I’ve never sold one autograph, they’re all for me. It’s called a hobby.
BTW: Meg Ryan has always been a nasty bitch and will always be a nasty bitch. She’s now just a nasty bitch with no career. Why? Because she shits on her fans.
PEACE!
