Marion Barry at it again

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/74866.html

This applies to all sorts of people, from politicians, actors, singers, sports figures, etc. And it is also across the political spectrum.
They act like idiots in public, and seem to forget that EVERYONE HAS A CAMERA. Morons.
