The Frog Brothers can really point out the fallacy that is Twilight (the whole series). I mean what the crap Incubus, Succubus, anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

I think fame inevitably becomes a form of mental illness. Not the organic kind originiating in the brain chemistry, but the environmentally induced kind, that results from people treating you in a very abnormal fashion. Only the people who make a HUGE effort to stay grounded can possible hope to reduce its effects. It's a spiritually dangerous situation to be in for most celebrities, because of course God cares NOTHING for mankind's opinion of you. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28649819 I used to work in tv and we used to call it 'Presenter Syndrome', they believe their own publicity rather than what their eyes and ears tell them. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 24179936 Netherlands 12/23/2012 01:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | IMO celebrities are activly striving to become gods/goddesses. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24179936 I truly believe there is something spiritual to it because most of them are very into the occult. For instance, did you know Madonna studies the Kabbalah? That is the bait. For the spiritually inclined celebs. You can become "godlike" while NOT in the glare of the public eye. Know Thyself. Yes I'm aware of that! There are many kings disguised as beggars. |

Today, the same types of individuals have global coverage with many more media types without the requirement to travel. In fact, the media travels to them. It must be remembered that none of these people are doing anything special... it is the media technology and global dissemination which makes the difference. Since they are no more intelligent (on average) than their circus or Broadway predecessors, the reason why their opinions are heard by a multitude of people is not because of their intellect but rather because of media reach. This is the only reason why their opinions carry weight. Not because they are particularly thought out, but rather because the information can be easily disseminated and consumed. The assumption amongst the public used to be that if it was written, it must be both true and important. This is still holds, but currently the public also believes that if it is broadcast, it must be both true and important. A first real glimpse of this power was the Wells broadcast of War of the Worlds, and he did not even try. Think of what you could do if you did. It is precisely because of their lack of critical thinking, bandwagon reactions, broadcast halo, and global reach that make them outstanding assets to ease the industrialized countries into the new order. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30669383 Australia 12/23/2012 01:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Remember the Travolta/masseurs thing? When one of the masseurs claimed Travolta justified his overtures with some Hollywood background story like, 'I was shocked at first, but you have to do to get anywhere in show biz and I got to like it', something along those lines...can't find the deposition now. |
