Why does America have an obsession with celebrity culture?

We are obsessed with superficial glitter and fantasy as a culture. This is especially obvious during the Oscars and other awards shows, when people who are driven to work in limousines walk along a red carpet wearing outfits that cost a year's O5 pay and tell us how hard they work and how much courage they have to deal with the ordeal of being rich and famous. We obsess over awards for the best make-believe players while ignoring the actions of real heroes.

It's unfortunate and sad that so many people are so unhappy with themselves they chose a celebrity to try and emulate. It's the media creating celebrities off people that have no talent at all. A pretty face and a nice body is not what we should be teaching our girls that's all you need to be successful. How about let's preach get an education and work hard to be successful. For those that can be successful with a pretty face and a nice body and can use that more power to them. However I sure as heck won't be expecting my granddaughters to follow this lead.

Peace!

when people have no meaning in their life they look for something that will give them a little light at the long and dirty road they must travel. sad but it gives them hope
