New Rule #2

2. New Rule: If you have no real skills and/or contribute nothing positive to society, stay home, take a self- help course, go to school or do something to become relevant. The nation's febrile fascination with persons whose entire talent resume consists of making porn videos or ranting unintelligibly to become famous is epidemic in scale and puerile in intent. We have become   a nation of knot-hole  peekers,  similar to little boys trying to sneak a peek at the strippers at the fair, except now any semblance of restraint or taboo is long gone.  Chris Jenner's sequential whoring of her talentless daughters  should have made the rest of us ashamed to watch, but Paris Hilton, Snooki, Honey Boo-Boo, The entire cast of "Hillbilly Handfishin'" and the rest have brought back the great line  penned by Don Henley - "We all know that crap is king, we love dirty laundry."  Once upon a time in America, the word "celebrity"  carried with it a cachet of larger than life, talented, gifted, of proven ability, etc.,  all irrelevant in our new media whore culture.  We need a new word to separate the truly talented and noteworthy from the casts of "Real Housewives of (your town here)",  "Jersey Shore",  "Schtupping Ms. Kardashian", and the rest.  I propose the word  "Sellibrity" be used to describe those willing to sell their dignity, their children, their names and in some cases their private parts for their 15 minutes of fame. If Kim Kardashian were to ever have a child, I'd love to be around long enough to hear her explain the sex tape with Ray J.  "Well, sweetie, you know mommy and Mr. J were really good friends and we wanted the world to share our love.  Besides Grandma said it'd make me famous !"   Puhleeze.
