Report from Hanson.net
Sent in by: Site Owner Stephanie
Hanson is so generous to pose with fans even when the really don't feel like it. Just imagine what it is like to be in Hanson's situation, where fans follow them from their home, to hotels, music studios, events and even just walking around a store! People are snapping pictures of them without their permission and then will take the time to pose after a long day in the studio only to find the pictures on the internet, altered!
Altered Hanson pictures appear all over the internet. For example, when Hanson does a meet & greet, Taylor does not hesitate to put his arms around the fans to pose for the pictures. I have actually seen meet & greet pictures altered where the other fans are cropped out and all you see is Taylor with his arm around a girl. Then the picture circulates around the internet as "Taylor's new girlfriend". We have all see the altered pictures where they are supposed to be smoking, drinking, holding hands with girls, giving the finger and much worse!
Although, I would hope that most of us have enough common sense to realize that these are fake pictures, there is always going to be a small percentage of fans that will believe the pictures and truely get upset over them. I think if this continues, Hanson will join the "no picture policy" that other music celebrities are forced to take.
Please think about what you are forwarding to each other out of respect for Hanson. Lets set an example to others that Hanson fans have respect for Hanson and their right to privacy.
