The Celebrity Industrial Complex

[word]

Remember, if you will, that the celebrity industrial complex made close to 100 million dollars off of Britney Spears during her breakdown period, following her wherever she went and cashing in on her pink wig wearing, head-shaving, car window smashing behavior.

There's big money in other peoples misery. Springer, Nancy Grace, tabloids. If people would just stop buying/watching this crap, it might go away but too many people are fascinated by it.

The world IS more concerned with the demise of Lindsay, there's a lot of money to be made from her suicide or accidental overdose...increased DVD sales, books to be written, and memorials.

People tend to root against celebrities that lack any redeeming qualities, which I believe is wrong. We should celebrate the fact that they have found a way to make tons of money at such a young age and blow it on excesses that have been enabled by their handlers. It's what America is all about!
