Celebrity Justice
McCartney Alta Cocker Fans Resort to Thievery

Posted Apr 17th 2009 12:11PM by TMZ Staff

Beatles fans are brutal ... at least the ones who like Paul McCartney ... the ones who are older than dirt.

Paul McCartney
We've learned three people were detained at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas yesterday, after they allegedly stole boxes of hotel magazines with Sir Paul on the cover, touting the re-opening of The Joint's new venue which McCartney will christen on Sunday.

Funny part of the story -- the alleged thieves are in their 50s.

1. So, 50 year old people can steal, just like anyone else. Guess what, they still have sex too.

4. Why is that funny? No one under 50 gives a crap about McNartney or even knows who he is.

5. They're in their 50's so what. So are most of the Elvis fans. Oh, and theft is not limited to those under 50.

6. 50 is not older than dirt.

7. The title "McCartney Alta Cocker Fans Resort to Thievery" makes absolutely no since in relation to your story. Some fans stole Beatles items. Where does Alta Cocker come into play? It is unusual for TMZ to write such a bad headline, but this is a doozy and really bugs me.

9. So I guess Harvey is older than dirt.

10. Make fun of Paul's age all you want, but the simple fact is his concert will be better than any young act who is out there lip-syncing their way to fame and ripping off the public who paid to see a "live" concert.

11. I am 32 years old. I love Paul McCartney. My only guess at your stupidity in writing this: 1. You could not come up with anything newsworthy, 2. You are jealous that you work for a sleaze celebrity news outfit making far less than what you thought while you were in college and Paul is worth what he is. REMEMBER - people like this is what gives you the paltry salary that you (cough) EARN.

14. 50 year olds are older than dirt? What a bunch of lame crap. Just goes to show how ridiculously stupid and out of touch TMZ staffers are. How old is Harvey? How ugly is Harvey -- REALLY UGLY!

15. Harvey, it's time to rein in your children and remind them that (1) if they're lucky to be able to grace the planet for any length of time, they'll soon be over 50, too; (2) it is incredibly disrespectful to make comments like "older than dirt," and (3) those of us in the age range referenced generally have more sense in our pinky fingers than your staff seems to have in their entire bodies. Where is your oversight of this site?
