Maybe it's only me...

The representations of Celebrity, fame, and wealth, in popular culture, make me physically ill.

This little bit of petty outrage brought to you by my happening upon VH-1's "The Fabulous Life Of. . ."

I'm going to go watch the X-Files, and try not to vomit.

The idea of celebrity and fame in general makes me want to show people their organs...
Not the celebrities themselves, all the time, but the way people take respect for something done well in their eyes, to an extension of their own lack of having Done Something With Themselves. Fandom. *grumbles*

I don't know that i'd term it "fandom," as there are... less negative connotations to the word "fandom," these days.

But it is.. angering, distressing, and nauseating, that people would... Praise Wealth and Fame, as if it were, itself... well, Praise-worthy.

Authors, Artists (in the true sense of the word), scientists, teachers, sure. The Hilton sister? For fuck's sake... What monumental bullshit.
