This shouldn't suprise you: More Reasons Why Celebrities Piss Me Off

I'm sure you've heard of the brawls that have recently plagued the news in the past couple weeks. I'm talking about the most recent Pacers/Pistons NBA fight that was completely out of control, the Vibe Awards riot and stabbing, and the College Football fights, like the Clemson/South Carolina brawl, etc. Sadly, these are not isolated occurrences. It all stems from the idea that because of one's celebrity status, one "automatically" should be afforded more rights and dignity than the common citizen.

This "holier-than-thou" attitude of some sports stars and hollywood celebrities oftentimes infuriates me.Vibe Awards Fiasco What on earth leads these people to believe in their superiority over your average, everyday joe? It's probably because they're led to believe they live in some fantasyland where they deserve special entitlements. They grow up like this. It doesn't help how some idiots out there who lack any amount of self-respect are so infatuated with these self-important dirtbags, that they're willing to bend over backwards to worship the very ground they walk on. You know you've seen it before. You've seen them being supported despite their immoral and indecent lifestyles. You've seen adoring fans of Michael Jackson supporting him as he walked into the courtrooms despite his disgusting and self-admitted gallavanting with children. You've seen the Kobe Bryant supporters on television coming out to watch him enter the courtroom on charges of rape despite being a self-admitted adulterer. OJ Simpson. Need I go there? Yeah.
can someone please shoot this bitch?
That alone is enough to make a lot of these deluded individuals maintain their own visions of grandeur when, really, they need to have a big slopping heap of humble pie served to them. And on a friggin' paper plate with a plastic spork, dammit.

What type of example is set for the more impressionable lot that look up to jerks like these? Remember, I didn't even mention Trim Spa freak Anna Nicole Smith who was a few nights ago the most drunk I've ever seen anyone on national television. Somehow, she got an extra 15 minutes of fame in her life, and look at the crap we get to look at in return. Oh, goodie.

And don't even get me started on celebrity award shows.
