As conditions have worsened in the US for millions, as social mobility has declined and as real-life opportunities have dried up, the need to live vicariously through celebrities—athletes, supermodels, film stars, etc.—has grown exponentially. Great numbers of Americans pursue imaginary lives through their idols and project their fantasies onto the objects of their fascination. At the same time, this is a highly volatile and fluid relationship. The same processes breeding vicarious living, i.e., stunted real lives, also produce resentment, jealousy and even rage, of a generally unformed and even anti-social variety. This is not, for the most part, a class-conscious rejection of the celebrity’s status and the very need for celebrities. Hostility toward such figures is often linked with envy. To help retard the development of a rational opposition to the current political and social state of affairs, the media cultivates an artificial hostility toward much easier targets. A seething but politically confused population is fed victims, sacrificial lambs, so to speak, while the real criminals go about their business. |

love these people who live sheltered lives , its to funneh how they cant handle something most people would find rather easy.
i wouldnt like to go prison but if i was going to be seperated from the other innmates it would be so easy especially if it was only 23 days or whatever it was meant to be at first. its not like you would risk beeing beaten up or bullied by the other inmates when you dont even have any contact with them |

Utter BS, he does make a point about people getting away with worse crimes but thats hardly any justification to let others off because of that.
Thats like saying "Well since some people are getting away from the law, lets let everybody get away from the law". Doesnt work like that. Her fame will not allow for it, if she was rich but not famous nobody would have cared since they would have never known. But the good must come with the bad, as they say you can have your cake and it it. |
