Why are Scorpios so publicized?

Because they've been sensationalized by Sun Astrology. People like to either demonize or glorify them depending on their own experiences or what they believe from magazines and news paper columns.

Each Scorpio I've met has been radically different, because the sun only accounts for a small percentage in a person's whole natal chart..

We're powerful and magnetic and all that stuff people have said in the past. Who knows? Maybe they're just jealous because we get more sex than they do! It's not like we go looking for attention. Maybe we should be attention whores like Leos or Aries...

I heard we're mysterious

Cause we are the most misunderstood sign. Overall we are awesome people though.

Because many people have a wrong interpretation of so many things,then speak it as fact,flip side Astrology is far from the all of a person on top of the foolish bull they think. ~*

Because they think we have a problem - yep, I'm a Scorpio

Scorpios are known for being sexy, sexual and BAD... And sex sells, doesn't it?
