Life is far too short to be channeling so much personal energy into the hatred of a person who chooses to live their life in a way that you don't personally agree with.
There's no 'chicken or egg' scenario here....reality tv came before those who gained notoriety on said shows.
People love to say how these people exploit the media and the gossip hungry public...but in most cases it's the 'stars' themselves being exploited and made to look like the fools most of them already were anyway...simply because that's where the tv companies and newspapers, and magazines get their money from.
The lure of fame to somebody who up until that point may have had a horrible life, brought up by horrible parents (or may not) is enough for them to throw everything they do or say into the public eye.
But in most cases these people are simply an annoyance to you when you turn on your tv, or flick through your sunday paper...but to put so much of your own energy into hating them is pointless.
They're fully aware of what they're doing...and what most people think of them.
But if they're happy to sell themselves in this way...it's their call...should they care that their actions anger you so much?
As i said, life is too short...in this case, in the eyes of her children, about 50yrs too short.
"...And these children
that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware
of what they're going through..."
