Celebrities think we're stupid.
Dear Movie Actor/Starlet/Celebutante/Singer,
I read celebrity blogs and gossip sites. I read them enough to have heard you all repeat the following the phrase in some variation no less than a billion times:
There are more important things in this world than me
a. getting drunk
b. Getting married
c. Getting Naked
d. Getting divorced
e. Getting arrested
f. Getting fired
g. Getting hired
h. Getting out of the closet
i. Getting new clothes
j. Getting dinner
k. Getting nominated/award
l. Getting fat(ter)/skinny(ier)
m. Getting angry
n. Getting happy
o. Getting an addiction
p. Getting sober
q. Getting knocked up
r. Getting a child via adoption
s. Getting a coffee
t Getting political
u. Getting "green"
v. Getting richer
w. Getting a cab
We know that the world is filled with violence, war, corruption and genocide. We are acutely aware of the rising cost of gas, the alleged climate change, the sleezy ass politicians running this country and that our military is fighting a war that we probably shouldn't be.
You see, you think your celebrity is something that you can use to bring "awareness" to us idiots sitting in front of the tv every night or clicking around the 'net every day while we're at our "little" jobs. You think that if it were not for Leo we would be pouring oil onto our lawns or shooting down Spotted Owls for fun. You actually think that your 10 second spot on The More You Know P.S.A. will create in us a sudden wisdom that was not there before.
You're idiots.
What you fail to see is that not only do we know about the war in Iraq, but it is OUR families and friends and neighbors and co-workers over there, fighting and dying. It's us who has to cut back on our groceries to pay for gas. Its our jobs that make the world go round.
It's people who answer phones, who tuck their babies in bed at night and then get up at all hours because we don't have nannies to do it. And because we want to. It's US who face a retirement with no social security to help out and no way to really save. We are the ones who struggle to pay for cars no longer worth the payments. We're the ones taking buses to work because we can't afford the payments. Trust me, it has nothing to do with 'carbon neutral" living: you take a bus for 2 hours to get 20 minutes away.
We are the ones who pirate your movies because there is NO possible way we could afford to take the whole family out to the movies anymore: its a $50 - $75 night out now you know? We don't get invited to premieres.
So, yeah, we read about your ridiculous lifestyles and we giggle when you fall. We see the world at your feet and you stomping around on it, not noticing. Lecturing us about what's important. We know what's important... we live the important things daily and cannot escape. We can't jet off to another country or an island to escape. We have to work on Monday. We have to cook dinner and wash dishes and laundry. We have dogs to walk and lawns to mow. Homework to check. And we love doing all of these things. You can follow us with a camera around to make sure if you want.
We see you getting out of a limo sans panties and we laugh. It's brain candy: stupid people with too much money. We don't really care that Paris rented a beach house and within days was flashing her boobs all over the beach. But most of our bosses are sort of stupid and they just left the office, so we needed a laugh. And that bimbo is just goofy enough to always deliver. Don't get me started on Brittany.
Please, stop your damn preaching. We know what is on the news at night and in the papers. We are known to have gone to college and/or read some books. We are very in tune with the real world and real people.
We are the real people. You just get to play one on tv.
In thanks,
JennC
