Whose Personal Details Would You Like Access to?

It was announced this morning that a number of celebrities – including Jay Z, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears – had their finances hacked and details of their accounts posted online, along with their social security numbers. This has got a lot of people who have no emotional investment in any of those people very worried because apparently it leaves them open to having their identities stolen. Why these people care, I have no idea, but it's clearly a pretty big issue.

What's cosmically more interesting is what other kind of information the hackers might have been able to get their hands on, ie: eBay account histories, email conversations between Britney and her publicist at the height of her fall from grace, photos of Jigga getting a pedicure, etc., etc. With all that in mind, we wondered who would be the best person to spy on and all came to our own conclusions, but we wanted to know what other people thought, so we went to ask them. London, whose personal details would you like access to?

Sam, temp: I’d say the Queen, but that’s too obvious, so I’ll say Michael Jackson’s doctor.

Nice. Do you want justice for Jackson?
I do, yeah. I think he got it.

Okay. Is there anyone in power you’d like to know about?
No, not really. Although, finding out what a politician makes every year compared to the amount of cuts they've made would be interesting.

Isabella, works in music: Well, if I get to find out what they earn and who they sleep with and all that, then probably people from work.

What about politicians? Do their lives interest you at all?
No, not really – they’d probably be boring. Celebrity life is more interesting, but then we see what they get up to in the tabloids already.

And the good thing is that all of that is 100 percent true.

Uli, office worker: Probably Barack Obama

Do you think he’s up to anything naughty?
No, I just think it would be interesting to see what his life is actually like behind closed doors

How about the royal family?
Well, I'm American, so I’m more interested in that side of pond, to be honest.

Fair enough. What about Sarah Palin?
Nah, she doesn’t interest me.

Tough crowd.

Luther, journalist: I think it would have to be Frank Turner, just because he’s my number one hate figure in the world right now.

Oh yeah, his song came on the radio the other day and opened with the line…
“Blacking in and out in a strange flat in east London”? Yeah, what a twat. As someone pointed out on YouTube, his banker dad probably owns the block. So yeah, it would be Frank Turner, just in the hope of unearthing something.

Would you be interested in knowing what the Queen gets up to?
The only time I'll be interested in her personal life is after her and her family have fucked off for ten years.

Christian, street artist: Being a street artist, it would probably Keith Haring or some other deceased guy.

I'd imagine that would be incredibly boring. How about politicians?
Yeah, I’d be interested in them. I’d like to see the way they live their lives, how they spend their money and the filth that they get up to.

Hey, it might even inspire some street art.
