If one's been paying attention at all to media of any kind in the past year, they could easily note that one celebrity in particular (because of his antics on interviews, among other things) has been making headlines and turning heads.
This celebrity/actor is Charlie Sheen, one who coined various terms from his interview antics.
("Winning!", for example. )
I think what the cartoonist is trying to point out is that we care more about the ludicrous antics of a celebrityover more serious things like the wars in the Middle East.
This too is something I've been wondering - just why DO we care so much more about celebrities?
While funny and pretty to look at (which is probably the answer to my above question...), I say that they aren't important enough to be prioritized over our nation's problems, or wars or anything else that concerns
the United States population.
Maybe more people would get out and vote, and get involved and shed their apathy if they stopped caring about celebrities, or if the media would stop shoving every detail of these actors and singers' lives down our throats.
