celeb obsessed

I had a post before called celeb obsessed about how celebrity is a distraction from real issues and problems.I took it down because it felt flat and lacking but after this past week I rather have a flat post then no post on this subject.For about 2 weeks everyone has been talking about Tiger Woods car accident and having about 8 separate affairs.December 1,the President announced that the war will be going on through 2011 and he said this war is nothing like Vietnam(yeah sure),but which story is front and center?,yup you guessed it Tiger woods and his alleged mistresses.There's also a story about a couple who may or may not have crashed a white house party and how they may or may not have wanted a reality show.This just proves that people would do anything to be famous,crash a white house,give out voice messages of your alleged lovers plea for you to change your answering machine so his wife wont know.No one cares about issues anymore,they just want the latest dirt on their favorite celebrity or about scandalous affairs.I can't even believe that Tiger woods alleged indiscetions bumped the "white house crashers" as a lead story on almost news organization,t.v.,radio,newspaper,etc.I'm 18 so I personally know people who don't watch the news or have much interest in it but no everything about "Brangelina" and when Justin Timberlakes birthday is and who Lindsay's with week.When people talk about they saw it's young peoples fault for not being interested in thing not celebrity related and I agree to some extent but that's because they're not in any immediate danger.There's a war but no draft,not that I'm favor of that and protesting now like they did in the 60's and 70's is almost impossible when cops are ready to arrest you at anytime.The people who really care or atleast imformed are the people who report it,directly affected,and a few people who actually don't care if Britney wears underwear or not.Everything is so sensationalized,octomom,Jon and Kate plus 8 and the truth is that we all created an atmosphere of being involved in peoples lives who we don't know.Even me by naming those celebrities,some who have jobs and some whos job is to be a celebrity.My point is when did we get to the point where no knowing about your country and who runs it became not only okay but normal.I was watching Jay Leno(I know) and he was showing random people famous pictures of presidents,painters,inventors and celebrites,a good percent of them(and that's being nice)got the celebrity right and the painter,inventor,etc wrong.I laughed at the time and that thought "damn, that's sad."  

PS.if a certain person is going to leave a comment,make sure it actually posts because it definetly didn't last time(just saying)
