Why do americans care about celebrities so much?

Question

--they act like a celebrities person life affects their own lives. why is this? is it smart or dumb?

Answer 1

It is because the Illuminati types set it all up to brainwash society with the poison of Hollywood and the lies of the media's news. Along with the purposely devalued American dollar and the 'all of a sudden' illegal immigrants protests, wrongfully imprisoning the border agents, Bush now backing an illegal whom raped and murdered two young girls and burned them alive and laughed about it and Bush wants to give him amnesty because he is a Mexican national.

Can't you see, how it is all playing at once.
Even Vincente Foxx on CNN and Daily Show ADMITTED that he and Bush agreed to a NORTH AMERICAN UNION with a shared denomination, based upon the E.U.

You ask why we are into celebs.. We are not!
The media (owned by Liberal Rupert Murdoch: CFR member too!) forces that garbage down our throats to brainwash us. So the NAU can take us over more easily.

You think i am joking? Internet search it!
Google it.
Ask anyone, The North American Union is already here!

Answer 2

Not all Americans are like that. My Husband and I could not care less what is going on in their lives any more than we care about the details of a stranger on the street's life.
Personally I think those people who are celeb obsessed just have nothing interesting going on in their own life.

Answer 3

A lot of us do care too much about celebrities(I don't). It is pretty dumb. They are human like the rest of us. I feel sorry for the celebs, because everything they do(normal things, even) is magnified tri-fold because of who they are. They have no kind of privacy either, and the paparazzi and magazines like OK and US Weekly spread vicious lies.

Answer 4

All Americans are not like that. For those who do, it isnt smart. Neither is it smart to make a blanket statement about any entire country. Care to share some of your country's shortcomings with us? Or are you an American? I wouldnt want to ask a blanket question

Answer 5

i think americans do care to alot of things!! whether its stupid or not but they care a lot about people and they do send a lot of assistance to all those needy and impoverished people whether they are enemies or not. look at all those charitable help that the americans are sending all over the world and to the point that it is so hard for a lot of this people to aprreciate it that they really take it for granted and expect that the USA should always send assistance to all those in needs and if they don't they will be the worse people in the face of the earth.

Answer 6

Personally, I don't care about celebrities, and the more they open their mouths and do things that would get you or I thrown in prison, the more I dislike hearing anything about them. Kinda sickening that they get all of that attention and people that do real hero work out there are ignored...

Answer 7

It's dumb, but it's kind of fascinating to see how the other half lives. I don't buy tabloids or chase autographs, but I do watch E!News and shake my head in amazement at how they waste their money and what train wrecks their lives are. And the fashion stuff is rather amusing.

Answer 8

i am an American and i could care less i thin the general public puts to much emphasis on their lives! if i got pulled over for a Dui it would not make the news and i would certainly go to jail NOT rehab!

Answer 9

not just america but the whole world
a nobel prize winner could walk down the street and not get noticed.... crazy

Answer 10

Probably because we don't have enough to do.. Too much free time..

So we take the path of least resistance to stimulate us in multiple ways - media.
