The dirty end of the "fame" schtick

I see where the media hounding of "famous person" Bruce Jenner has caused some collateral damage down Malibu way.

I don't get modern culture... how are people famous for being famous? I mean, he did win a medal in the '76 Olympics, but that was several life-times ago, by pop culture standards.

That TMZ headline is more than a little disingenuous, don't you think?

By golly, Bruce Jenner in a horrible car crash, and we just happened to be right there to film the whole thing! What a stroke of luck!

That's celebrity culture, baby!

If you thought the Rob Ford "crack video" was a scandal, wait till you see the Rob Ford sex tapes!

Anonymous Toronto Police Services insiders have revealed an ongoing investigation into the possible existence of rumours of a Rob Ford sex tape. The TMZ entertainment site was first to break the news, reporting that its operatives had seen uncut video of fat white people wearing nothing but masks doing the oinky-boinky in ways that shocked even the hardened reporters at TMZ.

Media website Gawker has launched a fund-raising drive to purchase the video.
