The problem isn't that celebrities aren't experts. The problem is that people are sheep. Anyone who works in advertising could tell you that.

Let's be precise.
The fact that Brad and Angelina are not getting married to protest the lack of provision of gay marriage (...well literally for anybody in love which can include pedophilia, polygamy, bestiality etc) doesn't offend me. It amuses me.
If I decided to do the same thing I should expect most folks to make fun of me too.

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
