The tabloids, People Magazine, US weekly....blah blah blah. The celebrities of today dominate all forms of communication. From Cnn to People Magazine, the stories of these celebrities lives are exposed everyday. I for one must admit, I am interested in these stories. Not all of the stories, but some. Am I interested because that is all there is to be interested in? If there was a news story or a documentry on architecture I would much rather watch that. Oddly enough our culture looks up to these cracked out, drunk celebrities for, I actually dont' know what it is we are looking for? Laura commented in her blog that all this communication may just be a distraction from our own lives. I think this is an excellent point. By reading about other drama, our own is dumbed down. Another odd point in our culture is the idolism that occurs. Young girls love and posterise these celebrities, wanting to be them. Should we maybe take another look at what it is our culture is communicating. Could it be that the problem isn't with how much is out there but the actual content of the communications? If all the advertisements were about political information, sustainable issues, heath coverage ect. would be really be so concerned with it?
