I agree with you fame is awful, but the flurry of reality tv shows and the swathes of forest turned into gossip/celebrity magazines (sometimes wrapped around tv listing details) show that modern life is obviousy so crap that we're all meant to be hiding from it by being incredibly vacuous,incredibly nosey,incredibly interested, incredibly f-ing small minded about being rich and famous because that's what the media tell us is really important.
I still don't understand why this is so, perhaps at some point someone in Palestine will find an ancient scroll that helps us realise that this is similar to how the Romans fell into decadence.
Frankly I think anyone willing to go on anything like BigBrother should be considered as signing away their rights under the mental health acts and we can then put them to profitable use weaving baskets for sale to tourists who come to visit Britain plc (genteely poor since the 1970s).
I utterly fail to understand how journalists etc can mock tolkien, other fannish fans or people with hobbies when there are all the losers out there who watch BB etc.
