So here is my question. Why do the majority of Americans glorify celebrities and Athletes. Like they always do this. and these famous people end up believing they are above the law. I just don't get it.
Who are these Americans, I live here and I do not know any ??
I'm American, and I don't glorify them.
And Americans are not the only ones guilty of this. Think about Brazil and Pele.
About the UK and Beckham.
Its a form of nationalism, tribalism, and vicarious fantasy.
Its as common as dirt.
Yeah, but we've now put ones up there that don't even actually do anything. I had to stand in line somewhere yesterday with two different mainstream magazines with Kim Kardashian on the cover, staring me in the face. WTF is wrong with people these days?And Americans are not the only ones guilty of this. Think about Brazil and Pele.

Why do the majority of Americans glorify celebrities and Athletes. .
We don't knight our stars though. We only glorify them because they've followed out their dreams in what they want to become. As children we're told to become what we want to be, strive for the stars, don't let anybody tell you that you can't do what you want.
So, those people who've followed those rules, make it big and it's not everyday that somebody turns into a Jay-Z, Beyonce, Brad Pitt, Mat Damon, Bret Favre, Tim Tebow, etc. etc. - As for above the law, I'm lost with that comment. Our stars and celebrities get caught doing stupid shit all the time (Lindsay LohanMcCaughly Colken
)
I don't get the people that are famous for being famous. WTF is that about?
I'll admit that when I was younger I was all about getting pictures and autographs. But now that I'm older, I realize they are just normal people with attention getting jobs. No better or worse than any of the rest of us.
I think some celebrities are incredible talents (athletes, singers, actors, etc), but there are other occupations that deserve more attention. We should put our teachers and public servants on pedestals.
I think I snapped out of it around 25...I was in the front row of a concert and the lead singer acknowledged my friends and me. We freaked out like 12 year olds for about 30 seconds...then I just stopped and realized how ridiculous it was. This guy was the same age as me and the ONLY thing that made him famous was that he was a singer. Since then I could care less.
Glorify our....? Son, you ever heard of sipping and not gulping when it comes to booze?So here is my question. Why do the majority of Americans glorify celebrities and Athletes. Like they always do this. and these famous people end up believing they are above the law. I just don't get it.
