... is everyone so infatuated with bloody "celebrities"?
This week alone (in the UK) we've had:
Wayne Rooney (football/soccer "ace" getting paid £90k a WEEK) with a gorgeous wife and simply can't keep it in his trousers when a "lady of the night" happens along
Ricky Hatton - World beating boxer (until recently), worth millions, caught snorting cocaine on camera
Robbie Williams - "singer" on a concert tonight to raise money for armed forces heroes - can't even remember the worfds to his own songs (and a tad drunk I think)!!!
All of the above are huge role models for younger kids - great examples guys, well done.
Half of the BBC schedule will be given over to either the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing (Dance with the Stars in the USA I think) or adverts for it or follow ups, or news of it, or gossip from it etc etc and all because a bunch of has-beens and nobodies are going to ponce around a dance floor to a stage managed bunch of "experts" who, by definition of "good TV" MUST NOT get on with each other.
The X-Factor - a program where everyone wants to BE a celebrity now matter how lacking in talent they patently are and some lap up this "sh*te" for week after week full of people who are just talentless baffoons because it's so BAD - yes, we now watch TV for people to be awful and the more awful the better! Anyone so much as hits a single big note in key gets a standing ovation
(I'll concede the last couple of shows may have the 10 people out of 100,000 that actually can sing a bit on show)
95% of "celebs" have nothing to offer the planet (Paris Hilton/Jordan for Pete's sake!) and should therefore not be paid millions to be "only famous for being famous".
There's a gazillion hard working people out there far more deserving of the average Joe Public's hard earned money and attention.
