Celebrities - so what?

Hard to find much to say about a couple of grubby boys on TV.

All celebrities remind me of the end of The Truman Show – although everyone’s completely enthralled while it’s on, the moment he walks away they just change channels and watch something else. That’s the difference between being a celebrity and someone who matters (such as my doctor, children’s teachers, even my dentist).

What worries me rather more us that there is a constant supply of celebrities to be enthralled by, though – it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep a hold on real life.
