Amanda Bynes: Entertaining TV

We love a good car wreck in this country.  We take some sort of sick entertained satisfaction in watching celebs of all sorts fall apart publically.  It sells magazines, and pushes up ratings on shows like Extra, and Entertainment tonight, it creates traffic to websites like TMZ, and so the more fucked up a story is about a celeb, the more money everyone makes off that celebrity.  And since the celebrity is a public figure they have no right to earn a percentage.

Amanda Bynes has stepped into Lindsay Lohan's spotlight as the crazy broad of the month, but whereas Lindsay appears to be an addict, Bynes appears to just be plain nuts.



I am sure Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew are fawning all over this young woman's fall from reality.  They are such smug, self-important sycophants.  They act as experts on all things pertaining to the health of celebrities.

But why is it that the media goes all cuckoo over these stories.  Why do we "celebrate" the pain, anguish and suffering of celebrities.  If we adore them so much, why then do we hate them so much?



Does it make you feel better to celebrate these young girls suffering?

We are really pathetic.  Our lives are so boring and mundane that we flock to this shit like flies on fresh shit.  We enjoy their suffering!

What does that say about us when we build people up only to tear them down.

How petty are we.  How pathetic are we.

I guess the answer is..... INCREDIBLY.
