When California regulators told Sean Parker that the elaborate, Tolkienesque set for his wedding wasn't permitted, he went along anyway. Was this just eco-oversensitivity? Nope: Parker's grotesque ceremonial mound was a redwood-damaging, erosion-spilling indulgence.

It turns out you can't evade the long, eco-regulatory arm of the law just because you're Sean Parker. Well, you can, but it'll cost you two and a half million dollars: the Mercury News says the environmental impact of his fantasy wedding set comes with a big monetary settlement. A Parker always pays his debts.
