Truth or Dare

From Gawker

“It was a meant to be a quick stunt to show the frailties of our celebrity-obsessed culture,” said Cauty, adding, “there are too many people who are famous despite their lack of talent, usefulness and basic intelligence. We wanted to do something that held a mirror up to that.”

“We feel that our culture has become an enormous soap opera. We don’t care what a person thinks, or creates, or contributes. We just care about what they do in their normal lives. Especially when it’s something they shouldn’t be doing.”

Whether it's real or not, I don't care. It's funny and points out the two ton elephant in our collective living room: we are a celebrity-obsessed culture with the attention span of gnats and less ability than most five year olds to tell the difference between fact and fiction - or good from bad.

Should have read HateQuest 2006 more closely.
