Movie Stars

Why the hell do people love movie stars so much? Honestly, people in America act as if these people are special creations of God that have come down from heaven to bless us with there crappy talent. I know there are some fine actors out there and many are good people, but the majority are uneducated douche bags who think the world revolves around them because they get paid lots of money to star in shitty movies. Moreover, what does America's love for movie stars say about America. Just last week I was in a small local diner that is ran by the cook who is the owner and his wife. There are 10 or so tables in the joint and the majority of them were full during the time I was in there. Half way through my meal some famous producer came in, I would rather not mention names, but half of the people in the joint knew who he was. So one by one people go over and start talking to him and you can hear them say "I think your work is great" or "that was fantastic"...You know all the bullshit people would say to famous people. IM not hating this guy because he makes money and has a good profession, but I'm hating the people who talk to him acting as if he cured cancer or AIDS. People stop riding the balls of movie stars...I know we see them on TV or in the movies, but in all honestly they have lives that are just as fucked up as ours. Furthermore, while this country celebrates undeserved movie stars, we tend to forget about the people who really make this world a good place. I'm talking about the underpaid teacher who works long hours or the wounded soldier coming back from his tour in Iraq. Instead, we love to talk about movie stars and many people even idol's these bastards. Honestly, movie stars should just be thankful because in when you look at it...They are just getting paid to entertain a population while the rest of us have to have hard working jobs that pay worse then people who barely have to do anything. In ending, movie stars just as fucked up as everybody else is..If not more. Don't put these people on pedestals like their greatness is unmatched because in all honestly their greatness is only a figment of your imagination.
