Why is it that.....?

Question

.....all these children on Yahoo! Answers keep asking questions like "i need an agent" or "i want to become an actress." Is it driving anyone else crazy? Or is it just me?

Answer 1

They keep asking because celebrity is the "gold rush" of our culture, and everybody wants to score, kids especially. A LOT of kids have fantasies about being the next "Lindsay Lohan" or "Zac Efron", without having the first friggin' idea of what it takes to get there. Even worse, neither do their parents. So they keep asking, unless they're just sick trolls pretending to be kids who ask. (And don't get me started on THAT subject!)

I just get a kick out of actually giving them the real answers...that whole fantasy thing about walking into a movie studio and becoming an instant "star"? Ain't gonna happen. It hasn't happened for Paris Hilton, and her parents are filthy rich. How is it supposed to happen for some kid who probably hasn't even finished their math homework before they've logged on to YA?

Answer 2

Why did you waste 5 points asking this question?

This is what this category is for along with other things such as musical/play questions, auditions tips, costume questions, etc. All these so called "children" are just looking for tips from someone who knows a thing or two about showbusiness.

Again, this place is for questions, and if you're bothered with these questions, I suggest you don't come on Yahoo! Answers anymore. It'll only drive you more insane.

Answer 3

Ya know, there are other topics.


I love philosophy. Haven't see one 'agent' question there.
