i wanted to call this 'i did all of your mothers' then follow up with 'a favour by donating ten dollars to the breast cancer awareness fund today.' but really it is not a very good joke so plan b..
lets all take a big shit on celebrity/pop culture. if you have ADD i would probably just go to www.wikipedia.org and type in 'little ponies' and you will eventually get to this topic in your own way i am sure.
HURRRR
so we see all these crazy bitches breaking down in the media and people usually revel in it like glorious little pigs in the proverbial mud of celebrity.
we've been bombarded by of anna nicole, britney and oh angelina adopted a baby oh wow but really what does this mean? who really gives a shit about who some person you're basically never going to meet, never know anything significant about, never understand in any meaningful way is dating this week?
they live impossibly stressful vicious lives where you are constantly in the limelight and have to build up a facade of epic proportionsl; popular, sexy, socially perfect.. you become the ultimate example of the culmination of socialization and mainstream culture. a spokesperson for a narrow set of ideals. you're allowed your little slip ups as long as you rebound bigger and better. they are basically mini human corporations, in the eyes of the media if you take some time off you're washing up, if you aren't making more and more money you're failing. it's basically a race to the bottom as eventually everyone breaks down from the incredible scrutiny. and when this happens the very media that built them up with all the ideals and never gave them more than a few minutes privacy delights in taking them apart piece by piece.
while sure, they may be all chilling up in miami sipping 40s on the back of their escalade limos but in real life things are seldom as perfect as they are projected. seldom does it seem that celebrities are happy in any real way. yet millions and millions of people cling on to this and live vicariously through strangers pretending they understand them and obsess over them. everyone you know who isn't rich is going to try to use you as a means to an end. look at parent agents with the culkins/oslens etc etc. you become hardened as you realize that people don't love you for any reason. it could be any other person up there and their fanaticism would be the same.
yet countless obsess over them, plaster photos everywhere, will travel across a country to see them at an event, to be in the same remote area as the person. then you look at all the incredible figures in our world who have done incredible good and changed the world for the better. how many autographs do nobel laureates give out?
it's a pretty big statement on our culture when really absolutely any person no matter how ridiculous, will have legions of fans if they reach a certain place in the media. like.. simple plan has hoards of fans. and we idealize them and put their pictures everywhere and talk about them like they are personal friends.
why are real people drawn to anyone famous and remotely compatible with their world view? why is it so badass to get a signature from some random dude when it really just breaks them down to the most superficial expression of that person's celebrity status. 'i have a piece of paper that has come in contact with a pen held by a famous person' really it's pretty ridiculous when you think about it.
a great nerd example is topher grace / toby mcguire. if you met dudes like this on the street you would not think twice about it but the celebrity factor instantly creates a huge obsession around people like this. i don't see the point. natalie portman sure she is hot and so the internet tells us pretty on the ball but who cares? at university smart attractive girls are a dime a dozen. so why idealize one person because family connections / random fate have played them into the celebrity circle and crowned them with influence and incredible wealth.
so se, enlighten me.
why the fuck are people so dumb

Also, TL;DR
Man we don't care about celebrities.
We care about cocks and dicks.
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
Because I can't think of anything that doesn't make me look dumber than Axim in his original post (We've fucking heard it before dude).
But they both still pursue fame, and they're older than 18. So they can make their own choice.
She looks oddly like Tara Reid in that picture.
TRANSFORMERS.
But I won't fall for that one
I just don't care for cake.
That would be adware/spyware.
Huuugge rip off.
lets say you were to make your kid do a line of blow every morning then after they turn 18 the authorities came in and busted your ass and locked you up
would the kids wake up the next morning all 'hey! dad isn't cutting a line for me thank goodness now i can stop with that silly business and start working on decorative cards!' or would they keep doing the blow and probably start sucking a couple d's in the meanwhile?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Well, that's probably why they were 5 for $1.
We only had two boxes they were gone within the week.
I love the put them in the freezer, mmmm, so good.
Then again, I think I'd eat a cock if it was made of peanut butter.
Other than the Aero, but that doesn't count.
You better fly a fucking case load of Samoas, Thin Mints, and Tag a Longs in as soon as you can.
That shit will set you up for a good month of good snackage.
Also I wanna get GRAW 2.
At first I thought he was hotlinking stuff to his own advertisement company somehow and I couldn't figure out why no one was bitching.
