I'm kind of conflicted that this picture of Dave Chappelle has 13,000 views

Dear Mr. Chappelle:

When you signed this autograph for my friend Rachel--who is a big fan of your show--I just took the picture because I thought that it might be nice for her to have a picture of it. I posted it with the rest of the set from the Cupcake Smackdown.

Was a little surprised this morning to find out that said picture had over 13,000 views on Flickr.

I'm generally against asking famous people to pose for pictures, etc, when they aren't making an official public appearance. (I've seen what it's like not to be able to walk down a street in peace because of people saying hello to you. Frankly, it seems like that part of being famous totally sucks.)


So just to let you know Mr. Chappelle, I'm a little conflicted about this. I think you were also a little bit conflicted when you walked away from your popular television show. So I guess we can be conflicted together.
