Some retired loser

?

 

 starts a blog in his living room with the hope of being noticed, getting some attention. Several times a day he copies and pastes articles, constantly refreshes CNN.com or Newsmax in the hopes of being able to post something relevant. He comments on on every like-minded site he can find. He wants people to know him, to call him by name, he wants to be in a clicque, a celebrity no matter how minor. Hollywood sells ideas, it sells dreams, and part of that is the supposed "glamor" of the actors. The people they want in their audiences are the people who swoon over Orlando Bloom or Viggo Mortensen, or the ones who are dumb enough to envy them. The people with minds and souls so empty that they will spend money to join fanclubs or buy t-shirts or spend hours writing praises on a Blog. They want the idol-worshipper, the soulless rube. The fool and his money are soon parted and it's the job of everyone who is not a fool to part them from their money. Everybody wants to feel part of something big, close to power, a player.
