Another thing I hate about all these celebrity deaths is all the fawning that goes on afterward. People talk about what a great contribution they made to the world and all this crap. For God's sake! All they were doing was playing a sport, singing, or acting! While I agree those things are important, they're not earth shattering. The people that are making contributions to the world are scientists. People who are trying to cure cancer. Those are the people that are making the contributions to the world. Not a bunch of stupid sports figures and actors and musicians! It's completely backwards the way we worship people who don't really deserve to be worshiped and yet we ignore the people that are making the real contributions to our society.
And I have nothing against sports figures, actors, or musicians. I don't really like sports that much, but I enjoy music and movies and TV shows and such. But I think their contributions are way over-inflated. That's why they all have to start up charities and do things like adopt kids from Africa to try to pretend like they're having a meaningful day impact and contributing something.
I've met people who act like entitled assholes in spite of not having any real fame or talent. Some people are just like that. But i bet having cameras shoved in your face all the time and being publicly scrutinized on the regular would make for a poor disposition, too. Not excusing anyone's bad behaviour, i can just see how those circumstances might lead there.
They don't seem to mind having cameras shoved in their faces when they're using it to promote their careers and make money off the public though, do they?
I agree there are some celebrities that they do just hound, like what they did to Britney Spears was terrible. On the other hand, I think that's part of the job. Every job has some kind of crap in it that's awful. And most of those jobs don't pay millions of dollars either. Most people put up with shit and they don't get anything in return for it at their job.
Alright, this is getting really old now. I'm getting very tired of this site going down multiple times a day.
