Celebrities??? Role Models???

A real world commentary...

What is it with our fascination with these people? Why do we follow their lives? What power do they have over us? They do not have any on me! To me, they are just normal people, not to be idolized. Let us look at some of them. Most of them did not finish High School or even have a college degree. Therefore, to say that they are role models is not hitting the mark for our children.

Wow, Mom, I want to be like Brittany Aguilera and make it big in the music business; a little girl might say at age 10 or 11 perhaps. What a dream it is, because that is just it, a dream. Most kids grow up to become productive members of society and have a family, job, and home just like their parents do, not some nut job that shows her private parts or strips down to bra and panties to go swimming swarmed by the media.

It scares me to think that my daughter once wanted to be like one of them. With role models like Hilton, Spears, Lohan, just to name a few; who needs nightmares? These women and I use the term loosely, could be a very good force in young girls futures by doing things the right way, but instead, they choose to be sluts and addicts and with the media coverage, every little girl gets to see just how the rich and powerful act; with no regard for actions and how it effects others. Mindless debauchery with drug filled sex oriented nights on tape no less. We have all had times where we acted not so well, but we grew up and got over it. I for one feel they they will never.

Therefore, I challenge you as parents and families to not let your children idolize these people. It is good to have dreams and if one so chooses, to be an actor or singer, but get an education because the chances of making it big are not very good. We are so consumed with these famous people that we use this as medicine for the lives that we lead. Most are so dumbded down by the media that they live for the next big star to fall or get in a fight or make a surprise visit to the big Hollywood hot spot. It is time to wake up and view these people for what they are, just normal people, well at least most of them.

Wake up people, live your own life, and do not worry what the Johnsons are doing across the street. Most of the actors and actresses live in a dream world that they created with their money, not in reality that you or I live in. I for one cannot afford to go into court with a high priced attorney and get out of jail free. It just pisses me off to no ends… I guess that what they say is true. We follow these people to not have to deal with our own lives. Celebrity gossip is the opiate for the masses.

What is your opinion?
