After reading some of Catullus poetry, I feel that his poetry is very clever and somewhat satirical. He likes to poke fun and harass people for their misdoings, whether it be great or small. This is much like the work of talk show hosts, bloggers, and comedians today. It can definitely be comparable to these people because he names out well-known, or rather people who were well-known by his readers at the time he issued his work.

He criticizes, embarrasses, and makes fun of many things concerning these "celebrities" such as their habits or hobbies. Catullus must have had many enemies during his time and many readers/fans as well. If he is supplying people with this sort of amusement to read, then he is likely to have an equal amount of people who hate him as well.
