anyone else sick of our celebrity culture?

Question

and what can we do about it

Answer 1

Stopwatching or reading tablods. Thats what I do to stop it from bothering me.

Answer 2

I am. I am especially sick of the whole Anna-NicSmith crap. WHO CARES?

This Saturday there was an SNL sketch with CNN's Wolf Blitzer talking about the substandard health care for soldiers wounded in Iraq and this overzealous reporter who was in the Bahamas instead of the vet hospital. It was hilarious, even the ticker on the bottom of the screen was screaming ANNA! over and over.

Right now, I don't buy tabloid magazines or watch Entertainment Tonight or E! and I do not click on any of the stories. I think if this downward spiral trend continues, then maybe Hollywood will sink into the Pacific Ocean.

Answer 3

[[in a gay voice]] - Can someone say, "Gag me with an effing spoon?!". [[in a non-gay voice]] - Yea, the celebrity culture of America is potent enough to make any journalist want to slit his wrist, even if it means breaking his canon Digital Rebel EOS. At this point, I'm afraid there's really nothing anyone can do about it. Back when this country was based on free speech and people gathered in their city squares to form an uprising, I might have said, "Well, can can have an anti-Hollywood demonstration to get people talking.", but I feel these times have passed, and now we can only wait until some strange unanimous recession from the direction that Hollywood has steered our impressionable individualization to emphasize a yearning for the maccabre (i.e., Anna Nicole's ongoing-death) and just plain retarded (Britney's new "hair cut"). I'm only 18, but I've learned enough about the direction of our country to compel me to put in my main university application in the country of The Netherlands - I am just praying that I get out while I still can.

Answer 4

YES!! I can't understand why they are glorified simply because of their choice of career and the Oscars are just the epitome of megalomania. And the thing that REALLY gets me is when people seek the opinions of celebs on everything from politics to hair care products. Why does their opinion mean anything more than anyone else's? Most celebs are so narcissistic and screwed up that they probably couldn't succeed in any other profession where they would actually have to behave like a normal person.

Answer 5

particular, me. and that i've got been because of fact the 80s whilst the "cookie-cutter-look" grow to be invented. Yick. no longer something particular. And the place the eff did Kim Kardashian come from? I even have definitely NO clue why she's extensive-unfold. a minimum of i comprehend approximately Paris Hilton's lineage, yet nevertheless don't comprehend why the pap-Zs stick to her around for all time as though she is unquestionably somebody. I omit the days of my babies, whilst human beings weren't suited searching for all time yet ought to supply a overall performance that should knock your socks off each and every time. Charles Laughton, Edward G Robinson, Victor Buono, Ross Martin, Martha Raye, Jack Webb, Harry Morgan, Phyllis Diller, Don Rickles, etc. Even the three Stooges. They made me snort like hell. nevertheless do. and that all of them had staying potential. The cookie-cutters of at present can extremely additionally be reported aside *now* much less be remembered 50-75 years from now. like the version between music of the 50s and 60s remains be performed and enjoyed by new generations at present...yet todays music heavily isn't "classics" interior the destiny.
