Why don't people get over celebrities as they do Santa Claus?

[Pcp3t3]

Children usually believe in fairy tales and mythical creatures. For example many believe Santa Claus to be a real person who is the patriarch of Christmas. He's never witnessed, is believed to be reading wish lists year round, sliding down chimneys Christmas eve, and having a sleigh with reindeer. Celebrities are regularly outed for being awful, have been caught subjugating the people who support them, and people follow/love them regardless.

Why don't people get over them like Santa Claus? Why don't they see Justin Bieber in person and if female realize he didn't write any song specifically for one woman, and that all the women who showed up were duped in the same fashion? Why don't they go to the taping of a talk show, see the host fumble over lines and do multiple re-takes, read from a teleprompter, have an alter ego off set/when the cameras are off, and realize it's all fake? Why don't they ever attempt to become stars themselves, and believe that ones publicized currently aren't any more special than themselves?

I don't believe in celebrities being special, admirable, or anything to invest money into. I've never had an idol, hung a photo of someone on my wall, and have met/seen many in person as a resident of New York City and past audience member of shows filmed here. Many were disassociated, negative, seemed high-highfalutin regardless of their meek reality, didn't look physically superior as opposed to popular belief, and didn't seem to humanize/care about anyone excited to see him/her.

Someone either pinch me or kill me; Pete is starting to make some sense here.

Because celebrities are real, and for every Justin Bieber or Paris Hilton, Chris Brown or Dana Plato, there are an equal number of people like Aaron Paul or Paula Patton, Rob Dyrdek or Glenn Close who are and prove themselves to be humans, not superficial (but "pretty") twats. If people paid attention to those that did good, rather than those that look good, we wouldn't have "major" news stations reporting on the latest thing Justin Bieber did to piss someone off, just to use a recent example.

Santa Clause is real, you killjoy.

I am Santa Claus.

 

[The Fly]

Who says people get over Santa Clause? I may have accepted he doesn't exist, but I wouldn't tell a kid. Because Santa Clause is still Santa Clause...real or not.

To be fair, Dyrdek comes off as a bit of a twat frequently. I dig Ridiculousness and all and he seems like good fun, but sometimes he is a bit much.

You really aren't from this planet, are you?

 

[frankfrank]

^ No, I think he is from this planet. I ain't never heard nothin' about Sanity Claws goin' down chimneys on Mars or Ê┘╤╞:♣X)7pP, either, so if he's at least from one of those planets he wouldn't know about Sanity Claws.

I abhor Ridiculousness because I have The Soup and Tosh.0 - one person making fun of web videos and skits inbetween. Ridiculousness is just a copy with more people added; I prefer seeing him in Fantasy Factory and Rob and Big, where he showed a lot more heart and soul, and you know, wasn't doing something that's a copy of everything else.

Plus, there's all the work he does outside of MTV that makes me like him as opposed to a Justin Bieber, who is more known for being sued and taking his shirt off rather than being a "musician". At least Dyrdek still skateboards.

 

[SLOPPYSECONDS]

Santa Claus was created to appeal to children. Much later, adults were encouraged to adopt childlike faux innocence and endorse the "wonder" of the secularized religious holiday, as it served commercial interests.

Celebrities, or at least adult celebrities, embody values that are in essence adult: wealth, sex appeal, physical prowess, bravery, intelligence, power, transcendence, public service, valor, invention, and so on. The fascination of the public is chiefly personification of whatever attributes are imputed.

Few truly believe real people are so two-dimensional. The fan phenomenon among adults is more akin to a willing suspension of disbelief.

anyway

thankyou
