This goes for "regular" reality shows as well...

Why has this phenomenea been infiltrating our tv screens? Does america have nothing to do but obssess over people who are no more people than you or I? I just can't wrap my head around this. They're only fucking human. They just happen to be famous; and apparently the American people have decided that is enough to lift these celebrities onto the highest of pedestals. Why? What is it about these people tha is so god damn interesring? Actors, musicians, covergirls/guys, etc., etc. What do they have in common? They're just doing their jobs!!!

So why is it that they are worshipped to the point of it being sickening? Once a nobodys face gets on camera, instant celebrity. Some get more famous than others, sure. But why should it be so blown out of proportion? In fact, some some average joes strive to be famous! Why would you want to be hassled form everyone to papparazzi to fans? Having every move watched, having anything scandalous-looking ready to tear you down from that pedestal you've strived so hard to get on top of? Having your live runed in one way or another? Absolute insanity.

Ah, celebrities. How wonderful it must be to have a camera shoved in your face day in and day out, just because you happen to be famous and thought it'd be a good idea to have your personal life on display for the whole country to see. Speaking of scandals. How is it that if a celebrity has one, everyone and their mother just HAS to know about it? There are people who are robbed, shot, stabbed, and the others that are complete selfless heroes who deserve to be seen. But nooo, Britney Spears(for example), shaves her head and goes off the deep end and it's the top story in all types of media for a month and a half.

America'as obsession with celebrity-dom is someithing I will never understand. But, it is their choice. To let themselves have one more piece of crap to distract them from the problems in their lives they are trying so hard to ignore and forget. We all have our distractions, sure. Even I have mine, because no one is perfect. But there is no fucking way in hell I would EVER choose this acenine bullshit to be one of them...
