Sex, Drugs, Rock’n'Roll…

is the headline of the biggest focus story on www.web.de (my e-mail account provider) today. It reads there:
“What would the world be without stars? For sure it would miss some scandals – and it would be more boring. Of drug excesses and sex videos – the most embarassing celebs.” And then we can click on Britney Spears photos…
The world would be boring without Britney Spears and all the other unimportant people?
It is so ironic that I just wrote a blog entry about Congo, the war there, about a mother with four young kids who are and will forever be disabled because they were not fed, about child labour – due to financial and fashion and whatsoever interest of the Western world…
But someone seems to think that Britney SPears is important reality. Of course she is – as mother to her kids, as daughter of her mum… But she and many others are really not as singers of stupid, empty songs… I think their scandals are only pseudo-scandals and they take away the focus from the real, the big scandals.
The world would be much more exciting without celebrities and their alcohol addiction.
You hit the nail on the head!!! All those “important” people who by some luck or even some talent got into attention of many and now occupy our lives, set our minds on certain things, make us complain about injustice, make us reflect on our appearence, on our living conditions, make us dream sometimes, make us wonder and compare. Many people relate to them, live with them their interesting life, because it is easier. Humans are incredibly lazy. Humans want entertainment but are not able to create it on their own without help of alcohol or drugs. So it´s no surprise that they are lazy to care about the world and relate to more global matters.
