celebrity gossip tv shows image
rabble rou
Some of the shows that I used to find tolerable - I don't even watch TV anymore...
And now Yahoo News is loaded up with it too...
I don't really care about which rich teenage girl took her panties off for some spoiled brat....
I don't care who didn't pay their parking tickets...
I especially don't care about "reality" shows...
I don't give a hoot about who gained a few pounds...
Do people really take enough interest to warrant making the rest of us deal with all this stupidity?
Answer
Like you I find it intolerable as well. However people, generally, are like sheep and feel more secure if they are 'one of the flock'. It appears to give them the belief that they are 'normal'. Also, because most people take an interest in this sort of thing they are able to enter into 'discussions' about what 'celebrity' did what, why and when, it gives them something to talk about over the photocopier at work, and down the pub. Without it they'd be lost, in fact they may have to talk about something actually interesting or relevant....that takes intelect. We are always being told by the owners of these magazines/programs that EVERYONE is talking about it. This makes most people believe that if they are not interested then something is 'wrong' with them, that they must be strange/weird if they do not take an interest. So they 'get involved' and propagate the gossip! It's all a load of rubbish of course, but it's rubbish that doesn't require and real intelligence. As a nation/nations we are all being fed mind candy...it represses any real thought, thought that might make people ask difficult/searching questions, and of course that suits any government.
