On one hand, I think there’s something humbling about lumping celebrities in with commoners. On the other, the higher the profile the bigger the retard usually so maybe they deserve an extra large pink triangle
 
These are all people who put themselves in the public eye. Sometimes noteworthy things happen related to these types so having a specific place for that, which also allows plenty of room for a looser view of lolcow prerequisites, sounds like fun. I’m all for it.
 
I think it would be nice having dedicated places for people to talk about them. One of the big appeals of this site is you can actually talk about things here without getting nuked by a janny and some of those names are big topics

Maybe the ones that aren't necessarily a lolcow could be put in their own super special™ section
 
I like "Kind-of a Big Deal" and Crunk wants "Public Interest" for legal reasons.
"kind-of a big deal" does kind of work as a smart ass name for them. Hell some of those people you listed to fall under it do consider themselves kind of a big deal and to some they are.
 
I wonder if a Piers Morgan / Piers Morgan Uncensored thread would fit this board. I think that could be funny. I think that would fit this board.
 
Good idea, helpful to defuse any "erm, I don't think this person is ackchually a lolcow?" despite there being plenty of room for irreverent Kiwi-style discussion and archival.
Crunk wants "Public Interest" for legal reasons.
Considering how well-funded and litigious the type of people this would cover are likely to be, emphasizing "public interest" is smart. Even if not the main title it should be emphasized in the subtitle/description.
