Default Re: Video: Gordon Bonked in Head by Adoring Fan

I agree with the comments posted. With 5 copies of the same print, this is most likely for commercial gain; but even if they are for sharing with family & friends, it’s still too much of an imposition, especially when other fans are waiting.
Alot of entertainers wouldn’t be nearly as patient. Last summer, I was at a Wayne Gretzky celebrity golf tournament. We were watching John Elway approach a tee box. It was early in the morning on the first day, so there were almost no fans around (maybe four or five). Elway signed three or four passes/programs, but wouldn’t sign a Broncos #7 jersey a guy was wearing. Elway said “No memorabalia.”. At the time I thought this was kind of harsh – the guy was actually wearing the sweater, looked like a fan to me. But you never know.
In the case of this video, Gord appeared too polite to refuse. Probably Leslie should have stepped in to play bad cop, in the interest of the other people waiting.
