Finished reading Eragon today.

I don't feel like posting too much today...

I saw another commercial for Bravo's new reality series Being Bobby Brown. Seeing it made me wonder why they didn't just get a regular guy who's a crackhead and a wife beater to be the star of the show. That way they wouldn't have to deal with Bobby at all.

Then it hit me.

I knew why they didn't get a "regular" guy with the same problems for their show...because no one would want to watch it.

The only reason people are tuning in to Being Bobby Brown is so they can watch a celebrity make an ass out of himself on national TV...if you can call Bobby Brown a celebrity of course.

It's a pretty good plan America. You elevate some slob into the catagory of "celebrity" so you can eventually and inevitably tear them back down and laugh at the shambles their lives become. If everyone is watching them battle their demons and make horrendous choices then no one's paying any attention to you.

While millions of eyes are on the faded celebrity, no one is worried about you...beating your children, cheating on your spouses, abusing drugs and alcohol...it's a damn fine plan America...hiding in plain sight.

While everyone is trying to decide whether or not Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are doing the horizontal tango you're free to do all the things you condemn celebrities for.

That doesn't seem two-faced at all.
