Celebrities

Celebrities.
I hope you don't expect me to ooh and ahh 
over them. 

Okay maybe some but I was thinking 
about listing some of the crazy things 
people do to meet them.

I follow some TV stars on twitter 
because its a cool way to look into 
who they are as a person and not as 
character on a show I watch.

Arrow on the CW starring 
Stephen Amell 
is an example that brought this to mind today.
The character has a saying in the first 
two seasons that becomes his trade mark.
"You have failed this city"
Amell retweeted a couple of interesting things today.
A video of a man driving while saying the catch phrase.
A man who shot out his eye with a nail gun
volunteering to be the new one-eyed character,
Someone wants to invite him to their wedding,
how fast can he run?

But that is just what people say during a Q&A period.
What about what people say when they try and defend 
their favorite celebrity?
I've seen some nasty stuff on the internet when the 
press or paparazzi attack an actor.
The fans go ballistic, in some ways its nice to see 
people defending others but we might want to rethink how we do it.

Or the people that post inappropriate comments or 
photo shopped pictures.    
The internet is crazy...
I wonder if anyone was given an opportunity
and backed away because of all the crazy surrounding 
celebrities.

We've become so connected we feel like we really know them. through social media and Q&A and all those things, 
we feel as if we could actually talk to them.
But really we see the "good behavior".
You know when you were little and you knew you behaved differently in public than at home.
It's the same thing.  
Besides most people freak out 
when they meet a celebrity.

In further news my parents asked me these questions.
They are on a college entrance exam and 
the majority of people only knew the last one.
#1 Who won the civil war?
#2 Who was the leading general of the colonies during the 
Revolutionary war?
#3  Wh0 is the current Vice president of the USA?
#4 Who is Brad Pit married to?

Comment your answers!
