ewerk 27284 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I think he was talking about people being too eager to get their faces on TV and create a story round themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9369 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 by "the cult of celebrity" I did mean everyone is so eager to get on tv/radio/whatever so they can push their agenda, probably used a poor phrase, but ewerk got what I meant and wasn't a picky bastard about it. and I didn't say there WAS a media hysteria I said if you're on tv you can create hysteria Can Pedants.

In other words, you don't know what "cult of celebrity" means? I was under the impression it referred to the way people are more interested in being famous for fames sake... rather than being a celebrity for something worth celebrating... I can tell by your condescending manner I might be off the mark a tad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all actually, I just have a different definition, more the phenomenon where the general public is obsessed by celebrity, no matter how trivial the reason for "fame". Not that either applies in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just doing Airplane I have no view on this matter other than I dont believe the act of watching and forwarding this clip isn't Racist. I have no idea what motivates the guy to say it is. Maybe just an over sensitivity toward this type of image reproduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
