Target of the Tabloids
Everytime I'm at the grocery store I see the stupid tabloid magazines, with all kinds of ridiculous stories and pictures and all that garbage... I'm not talking about "the enquirer" or that stuff, more about the magazines trashing people like Britney Spears or some other flavour of the month...
I don't understand why the paparazzi pick on people, like say Britney Spears or whomever. In a way it makes me feel sorry for them. I mean, why do we get so wrapped up, why do we care so much about what happens to Britney? Why do we rejoice so much in these articles and stories that really only tell us that she is just like every one else, that she's human, that she has failures and shortcomings? Why is it okay for the media to treat them like absolute crap??? What if the media just picked a different person every day, and took pictures of them when they got up in the morning, and followed them around all day, and dug up all the dirty secrets and mistakes of the past and flaunted them for the world to see? Wouldn't that upset you if it happened? It would really hurt me.
I think we've gone too far with our idolization of 'celebrities'. We're clearly obessed as a society.
And so, I wonder... I wonder if it's even slightly possible that Britney Spears will read this, and maybe, just maybe she'll want to meet me and thank me, and maybe I'll get to have sex with her....
