Anyone else find it funny how people hate "attention whores"...
 
but are quick to embrace celebrities? I mean, celebrities are celebrities because they know how to catch attention. Their entire life is being an attention whore, and thats why they're cool.

Wrong. An attention whore is someone who has nothing to offer.

A bit like this thread.

So you're saying Paris Hilton has something to offer?

Did I?
She's not a celebrity...just an attention whore.

Who fucking cares either way? Attention whore or celebrity, I don't give 2 shits about either.

You know, a lot of celebrity's popularity comes from then being hated.

You gave Paris Hilton as an example of an attention whore. This is true, why do you think everybody dislikes her? We watch to see what stupid **** she does next so we can continue to rant on how much we hate her.

A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention.

Unfortanitly she is considered a celebrity. Not just her many oter attention seeking whores are. Its a shame that we hold the status of celebrity in such low stand or regard.

And the point of this was not to disagree right-track but to show how absurd it really is.

Yet that somehow justifies it in a weird way. Even if she's instantly recognized because everyone hates her, she's still making money from it. She makes a living off of doing dumb stuff for attention. However, plenty of dumb people exist and they're not being paid for it. Is it just random chance we chose Hilton or was the fact that she was rich to begin with inluential on her position?
