Am I too Snooty, or is This Really Depressing?

I mean when you think of all the things that can be tweeted in the universe, a bunch of movies stars being the most tweeted ever?

At least it's not one of the top love-hate pop stars.

Really depressing.

On the bright side, if someone in government were to order a drone strike, they could do a great deal of good with limited expenditure on ordinance.

Welcome to the world of NT entertainment...where the shallow and superficial is all that matters...

Celebrity-fetishism is what is really depressing. Why do we have to have so many "celebrity" themed reality shows? Why do people think a celebrity life is so fascinating to create a tv show centered around any celebrity home for 24 hours a day. Don't people realize that this is all contrived and dramatized just because the camera is there? Seriously, the Kardashians, Mark Wahlberg, Ice T, bleh bleh me to death with boredom bonbons.

What is the point of following any famous person on twitter? Twitter raises OCD into a whole different dimension.

Celebrity, twitter, and selfies all rolled into one. It can't get much more shallow and self-absorbed can it?

It doesn't really bother me that people love celebrities or that that picture was tweated a lot, it bothers me that it shattered records as if it was the most interesting thing EVER. Literally. As I said in my OP, there are so many things in the world that could have shattered records, but that?

Also, even if it had been of movie stats at the Oscars, if it had at least been a picture that was in some way interesting other than for being just a bunch of famous people. If they had been doing something interesting. You couldn't even see half of them, it was a crappy picture.

We should just stop allowing other human beings to convince us to turn them into celebrities in the first place. I wont even watch those programs, or reality tv. None of these people are so special to be worth all the money they are paid or all the attention they are given.

I need to correct a misunderstanding....this picture is NOT being Tweeted and Re-Tweeted because of the subject matter, but because Samsung is giving Ellen DeGeneres $1 each time.

She has committed all of the funds to the Humane Society; this has raised $1.5 million so far.

I just received info from HSUS explaining it all.

So Ellen, her friends who posed, and the millions who Tweeted, are helping animals in a fun way!

I am proud of them all!
