Supply and Demand, people beg for it, there's no mystery. It's not like they put a gun to their head and made them watch it. The supply always comes after the demand. People eat sleep and think stupid, try this experiment. Be up front and bold with all your friends, then watch them no longer be your friend. Tell your fat friends, they are fat. Tell your dumb friends, they are dumb. Try ignoring mediocrity and watch how many friends you no longer have. Free will is a bitch!
As a Brit I also despair of how moronic our culture has become, and of how stupid a lot of people are. I have had to turn off from mainstream culture as I cannot tolerate it anymore. Constant adverts/ sponsorship messages, worshipping of 'celebrities', an expectation of being rich without possessing any talent, all encompassing consumerism, and television vomiting sewage at us 24hrs a day. The establishment is trying to dumb us down for a reason - they don't want people to question them!
we pay the cost for adding glamor to the body and faces of the media and entertainment industry, but that doesn't mean all of us, there are allot of people out there, it's nice to see the super support toward those artists who have a chance to live a different life and make a mark on time with loads of resourse, it is it's own thing. I rent movies and look on to the superficial world as it comes to me, I dought that it will repeat it's self, so like me others are curious to some how be apart.
Very well said man!! Starving people in the world makes me sick, especially when I know America is the number one country for Obesity. People in other countries are dieing of starvation and people in this country are dieing from eating too much...Whaahuuuu??
I'm gonna start by saying that I'm Canadian however all of this celebratarianism is because of the priveledge that we as western people are able to enjoy because of our culture. You should take into account to who watches this stuff. Its old people . The whole world doesn't hate our culture, it should be noted that there ARE a lot of shitty things going on in our culture. However we should highlight the things are the antithesis to this tacky pap we watch on the E channel.
One of the most worrying things about this for me is the power it gives celebrities. Literally hundreds of thousands of people will adopt stances due to what a certain celebrity thinks. Celebrities are just fallible people, like the rest of us. Also, the way people identify with celebrities leads to them defending their grotesque fortunes as if they were their own. People seem to think that they are somehow included in the world of this ultra-rich elite.
Yea like the anti-vaccine movement (no offense if that's your position, but I consider to be a rather wacky and dangerous one.) Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carry, they have ZERO scientific knowledge, yet they got on T.V. and made baseless accusations saying that "vaccines cause autism." And millions of people now listen to them and take this pseudo-scientific nonsense as truth. It's sad.
Lol no that is not my position. I dont make a habit of going in for conspiracy theories. And yeah that is the type of thing I am talking about. Both single issue-things, and acceptance of cultural norms in general. The sex industry, for instance, benefits from this stuff.
No I see what you mean. It seems like American celebrities just have a bigger "crossover appeal?" Maybe that's it. Like how often do you hear of a Polish pop-star, or a Japanese Movie-Star here in America? Rarely. But conversely, do the Polish and Japanese know who Tom Cruise or Madonna is? I think so? Why do American celebrities become so HUGELY popular? Peace
I get what u mean about reality shows though especially; like.. a lot of the European reality shows are to... hardcore for even American T.V. Like in Bravo there was this show called "Private Stars" in the U.K., where various men competed to star in a porn-movie with British Porn Stars. And after this show got huge in the U.K., I heard, American television wanted to pick it up. So it goes both way, I get you there.
Umm, no, I'm not a nationalist or a patriot. I just hate sweeping generalizations and denialism.
I was speaking about the TV programs. The vast majority of shows like American Idol, Big Brother, reality tv in general... was brought to the US by other countries... even the sitcoms. That's truth...
The worship of celebrity is common in almost all Western nations. It's what seems to happen when you (general you) become wealthy and have too much time on your hands.
I can see what you're saying. Though I will say one thing. Celebrities from the U.S. very easily become famous to a world-wide audience, like Michael Jackson or even Brittney Spears. But how often do Americans become obsessed let alone aware of foreign Celebrities? I can think of a couple, like Shakira maybe. But otherwise, I do think that the LEVEL of obsession with celebrities seems to be a mainly American phenomenon. But I see where you're right also, good point.
Good vid, I was beginning to think that I was the only one that noticed that all you had to do was be pretty to get famous instead of actually having talent.
I'm not sure that this type of programming and media in general is specific to the US. A lot of this shit came along after being brought to us by other countries.
Trust me, Tattooskin, the US gives more than it takes. It is pretty much American stupidity- not an inherent stupidity of the people, but an ignorance self-perpetuated by the culture.
I think you missed what I was saying. I was merely talking about the influx of TV shows, reality and sitcom... most all of the concepts originated in other countries. If you turn on the tube here in the US you will see that most of the shows are rip offs of British sitcoms. That is all I was saying in that respect. I will not even speculate on why the US seems to export more "stars".
The rest of your statement, well, I've addressed my feelings on that shit many times.
Lol yeah sorry I wasn't attacking you. True, reality TV is something which we are responsible for. I saw your other comments after I replied to you, so I didn't know you had already covered it. Sorry for making you repeat yourself lol.
hehe, I didn't think you were attacking me. I know you to be a gentleman ;) And no need to apologize for making me repeat myself. I do it often w/o being prompted, but I think it has more to do with my brain backfiring on me. Not sure if that's due to age or the huge amounts of weed I used to smoke.
