The thing about this week of the class is, it seems to have glorified the celebrity body instead of looking at them with the contempt they disserve. I’m just frustrated that in class the tone was more reverential than skeptical. The discussion seamed to go more in the direction of gossip. I just don’t understand why we give celebrities so much credit. I was proud that I didn’t know who most of the celebrities where who we talked about, and if I did know their names I knew none of the other details of their life. I was also proud that I had never seen a Michael Jackson video before. I think that speaks well of my character. My opinion of them is that they are just ridicules people who aren’t that good at what they do, but just have good publicists. We shouldn’t be giving them more attention and power by talking about them, we should just ignore them and hope they will go away.
