Q: Do you know what really grinds my gears?
A: The word 'celebrity'.
It's being passed around like a sexual disease in a brothel. Celebrity status used to be reserved for people who excelled in their field. Be it a supreme actor, a genius inventor, or a brilliant surgeon. Today, thanks to this ridiculous concept known as REALITY TV, we have complete nobodies with zero talent making more money than any of the aforementioned. The world is insane. Truly insane.
Today's soap operas are just as bad. The content has declined in quality and the so-called soapstars are being snapped up by television companies to present other programmes. It's insane. How can a soapstar be a better presenter than someone who actually has a skill in presenting?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Channel 4's decision to drop Big Brother is the beginning of the end for it. This however won't stop the endless Pop/Dancing/Skating reality competition spin-offs that have been hogging our boxes over the last few years.
So basically, there's no hope for us. Soon I'll be a celebrity somewhere on a list and I'll be papped to death just like all the rest of them. I wonder if I'll be A-List? Nah, probably F-List. Does anyone remember when there wasn't a need for the phrase "A-List Celebrity"? That's when there was only a handful of them. Back in the days when human beings used 10% of their brains, not the 1% we're currently on.
Enough ranting... here's my latest film review... |
