Has Celebrity Worship in the US Finally Gone Too Far?

You won't have to go further than your TV or the Radio Stations today to hear about yet another Celebrity in Trouble. It has become just another way to keep them-selves in fame or in some cases infamy. Perhaps by bringing them-selves to a more "average Joe" level they are hoping to regain our sympathy and understanding. They have in some ways become the anticlimactic Heroes and Heroines of our modern age. We follow the various and plentiful Court Cases of Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton and O.J. Simpson. We shake our heads at yet another stunt of Michael Vick and his Dog Fighting Trial as he twists and worms his way out of trouble.

From Tabloid Headlines to the lunchroom of almost every school, celebrity scandals are in the mouth of more then 80% of the US Population. We are appalled, disturbed and in some cases amused at what they have done now. Some of us are rightfully outraged at what they get away with, but is that far enough?
