Do you think that as society has fractured, we have tried to create a sense of community by gaining interest in the manufactured lives of celebrites? Or has advertising created a market for the minutae of famous people's lives based to make up for an increasingly alienating urban existance? And whether this has become an opiate of the masses who are living their lives vicariously through the proported lives of famous people because reality will never make up for fantasy?
I just don't know why people are not interested in the people that are close to them and get a sense of the people in their community rather than try to cling on to the vestiges of reconstituted trivia that seems to surround famous people in today's contemporary society.
