I go to a gym a few times a week to try and keep my heart from attacking me. In the gym is a bank of 24 televisions that we watch as we sweat. On many occasions I find myself watching channels that I would not otherwise be caught dead watching.

The other day I was watching a show which is an imitation of The View (just what we need another View). This day they had a Celebrity on from a sitcom several years back that was enthralling the breathless hosts with what she is doing and is not doing with her life.

The Celeb said the following, “My husband and I have been married 4 years” and the round of applause she got was akin to the same as if she had said, “I just discovered the cure for all forms of cancer”.

To my way of thinking four years does not sound like that much and she did not even specify which husband this was.

What’s next? Are going to see going to see the Celeb Worshippers having a similar reaction to the likes of...

• “I really like my fifth wife because, when she sits quietly at night reading a book, she does it very quietly.”
• “I may be subjecting myself to unwanted scrutiny but I honestly think that cherries go well with prunes and the world would be better place if more of us ate cherries and prunes mixed together.”
• “I wish I had learned to be this assertive when I was younger. If I had I would certainly have taken a position similar to this which I have now taken even though it is not the position which I would have taken had I taken it at the time.”
        Now this last quote is so unable to be understood that the Celeb Worshipping Audience would probably think to itself... Wow! That is so deep! I don’t understand what the heck he is talking about but that certainly must be because I am nobody and he is somebody. This is certainly deserving of a standing ovation! … I think?

It makes me sad to realize that my repeated blog postings about our society’s unrelenting worship of Celebrities is not going to have any effect on our obsession with them and what they do or don’t do.

Sometimes I think I ought to zero in more on the foolishness of politics. Yes I know I could do that but there is so much silliness in politics that my instinctive thirst for variety demands that I write about something else.

Would I kid u?
