Celebrities on the loose

In Iceland it is considered absolutely uncool to bother celebrities.

Icelandic is a small country, so when you go to the moovies, you are bound to stumble into people you have seen on TV, the local mayor, the guy who got rich selling jacuzzies and all sorts of semi and super famous people.

Because of being used to meet these people, and because Icelanders just are cool, they find it very uncool to bother celebrities.
So when Prince Charles or Damon Albarn come walking down Laugavegur, the main road of downtown Reykjavik, they are left alone, but also nearly ignored.
That is kinda cool!
