Celebrity Worshipping

[Texas_Tickle]

Maybe it's just me, but I never saw any reason to justify the mass celebrity worship that is engulfing our world. From Hollywood to fashion, it seems that people just cannot bow down low enough to worship the ground they walk on.

I don't care if you're Harrison Ford, or Joe the mechanic down the road, you're both people, and IMHO, nobody is worthy of the type of worship that the masses heap upon them.

Sure I met a few of them, such as John Goodman, Dan Akyrod, and Michael J. Fox (with whom I was able to really sit down and chat with)

But they are just people, not "gods". I mean people treat celeberties like they were the 2cd coming of Christ himself.

That's why I never bother to watch the Oscar Awards, because that is
just one big Hollywood-worshipping service.

But to some people, celerbities are like a "god" to them. Maybe even
more than "god". And to those people I say "get a life". There is more to life than what goes on in Hollywood, no matter what Hollywood wants you to believe. There is a whole world outside of superficial Hollywood.

Go and explore that world.

AMEN!!! I get so sick of that! People spend more time worrying about the lives of tv stars than about thier own.

What I hate most is when the "news" spends more time talking about the antics of movie stars than they do talking about the news. A good example is all the survivor crap. There are times when there's more air given to what's happening on that stupid show than to what's happening around us in the real world. That's nonsense! Are we so disillusioned with the world around us that we prefer a tv "reality" show to the true reality of life?! If so, it's a sad statement.

A good dose of fantasy is fine and can be healthy. But, when the escape that offers becomes the ruling force, it's gone too far and needs to be cut off. I wonder how many people would throw their tv out the window if they realized the negative effect that too much UNreality we were fed.
