A number of threads here have started in response to "celebrity" actions or statements. I am more than a little concerned about the celebrity culture in our society and wonder:

If you met one of these people on the street, not knowing who they were or what they did for a living, would you even give a darn about what they said? (Ignoring for a moment some of these people have attention-getting racks).

Seriously. Why do we even turn on the TV some days? If some actor/singer/athlete does something, does it give it any more weight than the same action from the guy next door?

There are role models and heroes in our own neighborhoods.
If someone we don't know has had five minutes of fame why do we eat up their stuff?

Wondering
