Lately I've been watching The Spin Crowd which is about a Public Relations company called Command PR. There are two executives who run the show and they also have employees who help run the special events. I find this show very insightful but it's also filled with unwanted drama I could do without.
I love celebrity TV and pop culture and I follow it to the best of my knowledge. I find it more entertaining than hard news. Yes... I am an American who would rather talk, watch and read about celebrities. You could say I put them on a pedestal but I don't hold them to a better standard than humans. I just like watching them I guess. This latest news about Paris Hilton is a huge issue not just to me but to a lot of people.
Questions have been raised to whether or not she has been held to a higher standard than most people who've possible committed crimes. Hilton has been seen in and out of the police station in Las Vegas where as people who've been arrested stay inside the building and usually aren't allowed to leave. Is she getting special treatment? Do stars usually get special treatment just because they are celebrities and the "law" doesn't want the public too involved?
But is it the public's right to know?
She isn't a threat to the people of Las Vegas and people getting pulled over isn't a taboo, it happens all the time every second of the day. What do you think about this issue? Do they get special treatment? Are they sought out to be made examples of just because of their "status?"
Wow I went from the Spin Crowd to celebrity drama. Let me know what you think about celebrities and how they are treated.
I think you went from P.R. Class to Ethics class in about 2 graphs. LOL. Most celebrity "news" seems like a distraction to me though. Some of it legitimately falls under human interest, but the misdeeds of a starlet really aren't of benefit to the public, in my opinion.
