We are an obsessive nation that looks to others and strives to all look like a celebrity. Self identity is great idea, but people want to look like everyone else. Celebrities take up the media with everything they do. We spend so much time watch their TV shows, movies, and listening to their music that we become obsessive over everything they do. Recently some celebrities have passed away and truly everyone is making the biggest deal out of.
When has ever important to know that someone was buried in a gold casket? Apparently if it is Michael Jackson it is. People die all the time that play a big role in our society, but there funerals are not in huge sold out arenas for everyone to watch. The day he was buried every news station was covering the exact same thing. There had to be other news to report. Although Michael Jackson had the greatest impact on music in our generation, but is it really that important to take up tons of air time to see him get put in the ground?
