My target is those untalented people who have absolutely zero sense of acting and survive AND thrive just by selling their bodies to get somewhere and THEN, pretend to be holier-than-thou. Also of crimnals strutting around freely because of their star status. I am targetting the hypocrisy of such people and those who accept them as stars and adulate them, to boot.<br />A prostitue sells herself to survive...a wannabe sells herself for glamour and fame.

For some reason, fame sugar-coats and slightly changes labels from "prostitute" to "high end escort", and from "woman beater and abuser" to "assaulter", etc. The media controls them, and whether these famous people have a good or bad life, people love to read/hear/watch the news about them. When a celebrity is on the news because something BAD happens to them, people flock to watch because people love the drama and love to know that these "famous" people have troubles/problems worse than their own. It's like what they say, "there is no such thing as bad publicity".The Temporal Guardianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043016782576918685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739435673478383558.post-60521794582089679732009-07-14T15:52:28.702+05:302009-07-14T15:52:28.702+05:30Hello, this is my first ever visit to your great b...Hello, this is my first ever visit to your great blog. just read your post. very thought provoking indeed!<br /><br />Must say, bollywood is nothing but a crap for me.

Gulshan Grover for that matter.. or Amrish Puri.. or anyone the same..<br /><br />So people tend to create a perception of the person from what they see on-screen.. but yeah.. everything has a limit.. I don't think adulating and worshipping should be there associated with anyone here..<br /><br />As Indians, one thing we are used to is <b>hype</b>.. hype about everything.. be it Rakhi Sawant's <i>Swayamvar</i> or be it Akshay Kumar's <i>Advance Tax</i>... :pSaad Shaikhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501036305692599889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739435673478383558.post-56754029962070257002009-07-13T12:44:19.418+05:302009-07-13T12:44:19.418+05:30The only difference lies in people being unaware o...The only difference lies in people being unaware of reality.
