These tabloid-mocking innovations poke fun at our paparazzi-centric culture. Many of these creations are the brainchild of celebrities, who no doubt have been plagued by this facet of pop culture far more than the rest of us.
Still other articles in this cluster focus on paparazzi-thwarting creations. Purses that block a camera's glare and accessories that keep a woman's Britney under wraps while she's exiting a car are just two examples of these tabloid-mocking innovations.
