"I hate ______ (you fill in the blank). She's a tramp with bad hair who can't act/sing, and I don't know how she ever became famous."
It's becoming an epidemic it would seem. I can't find an entertainment-related article online these days that doesn't have hate comments ad nauseum below it, that is if the site allows commenting.
I suppose I should be able to ignore it, but it's getting on my nerves. So much so that I don't even want to read entertainment news anymore.
Do people seriously not have anything better to do with their time than sit on their computers and spout off about how badly so-and-so sucks?
Pardon me if I sound harsh, but GET A JOB, people! Get a hobby, find a new friend, help someone out, GET A LIFE!
First of all, in order for some one to be a celebrity, there (typically) has to be a fan base, and a rather large one. There are a few notable exceptions, and with no malice aforethought I mention Paris Hilton. But for the most part, celebrities are popular. In all fairness, Paris Hilton does have fans.... I think.
I am a proud American, and I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of expression wholeheartedly. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and they should definitely have the freedom to express them. But honestly, what does it do for them? Do the 'haters' get some kind of kick out of posting their whiney, angsty comments? I'll admit, I don't understand the phenomenon at work here.
If you have really have to go online and rant and rave about Britney Spears one more time, maybe you should start a blog. That way all of your friends that agree with you can read it, and those of us who simply want to read the news don't have to 'listen'. Feel free to express yourself if you must.
Just a closing thought - in the words of Thumper from Bambi: "If ya can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." And although the grammar is wrong on so many levels, that thought can still be good words to live by.
