In these days of horrific over-exaggeration from our media industries, we get bad influences from our "stars, idols and hero's", because of the media throwing their reputation in the alleyways because they do one little thing human, and are expected to never recover.
In an episode of South Park, they showed Britney Spears and how closely the media covers her. At some part in the episode she realises how intrusive they are on her children, divorce and cancer so she blows her head off with a shotgun, but somehow lived but could only mumble gibberish, yet they still report on her and her fashion issues.
Why do the media think that it matters if A celebrity like Tiger woods has cancer, Leonardo dicaprio does a backflip into a pool and goes to the hospital for a concussion, or Justin beiber smokes a ciggarette for the first time in his life? Around this month and several others, an area in egypt is going into anarchy and civil war, yet we apparently care not.
I want to blame the media for making society so clueless as it is these days, but that would be giving them TOO much credit. The time they spend following celebrities is what everyone wants to hear, if they didn't the nobody would pay attention to them and we would be watching real news.
So it comes to my mind, is the media really the problem about being too intrusive, or is it us pushing the media to do so?
