The Mainstream Media seduce us with Celebrity!

Anyone scrolling through the pages of the Daily Mail Online will come across story after story concerning this celebrity and that celebrity, this actress and that singer, and they seem to think that it matters to us. Well, if there was one thing that the US Presidential Election result proved is that we couldn’t care less what they think when it comes to politics. Kamala had them ALL lined up behind her and she lost heavily, turns out no one cares what Taylor Swift or Oprah thinks.

However I think this cult of celebrity is dangerous at another and deeper level. Sure, we can ignore their worthless political opinions but some may still be influenced by their atrocious lifestyle decisions. When we look at the horrific lives these narcissists live, that should act as a warning, not an inspiration. They may have all the fame in the world but at what price? How many of them live in settled happy relationships? How many of them are surrounded by a loving family? In what way do they set any example?

However I suppose “Celeb” stories sell newspapers along with tawdry images of said celebs. All I see are a bunch of desperate losers who lack the fundamentals required for a happy life.
