Secondly, I think it's petty to assault the taste of celebrities, just because they make easy targets. The mind-set that spawns the notion that other people's creativity is some sort of threat to the "normal" people... it's just pathetic, frankly. We already have threads dogging celebs for their looks, and those charming lists of who we don't like. Negativity of that sort is truly cheap. It benefits no one, except those with broken, pathetic little egos who get to feel cool for being nasty to someone they feel is more important than them.
Live and let live. How hard is that?
I think you are reading way too much into my thread, my friend. This wasn't an attack because I feel my own ego is weak and I need to make myself feel better. I agree with the person who said celebs name their kids such odd, different names because they want to be set apart from everyone else. Maybe its another way for them to appear creative. I guess. I don't see how being famous automatically makes someone creative though. I think those that assume that if someone is famous, they are creative, are on the wrong track. I think all of us can think of more than a handful of people that are famous, with zero talent. Sure some have talent, some can act, some can write, some can sing. Whatever. But theres more than a handful. A LOT more, that can't.
So maybe its compensation. Who knows.
To me it looks almost like some kind of contest. "Which celeb can come up with the weirdest, coolest, unique name of all?" Once a few did it, they all have to. Sorry, that just makes me
And I'd like to ask, what is so morally wrong with "dogging" celebs, on their looks or otherwise? All are entitled to their own opinon, you can't HONESTLY say that there aren't a few celebs on your list that you don't think are just utterly ridiculous, one way or another. Ridiculous people are everywhere, everyone just focuses on the celebs because they are in the lime light, and its the price they pay for living their kind of lifestyle.
