Pop culture to most people is what makes the world go around. People need icons and individuals to idolize. If people didn't look up to movie stars, musicians and professional athletes than they would not be so disappointed when they learn that they are people just like you and me. The difference is the fame and money but one thing remains the same they are human.
I mean what amazes me is that people who idolize others are people who can completely turn the opposite in their behavior as soon as they become disappointed in a persons actions. Tiger is a good example of this. While Tiger's indiscretions were less favorable to the character he portrayed to everyone, one thing remains the same...he is a freak of nature in the world of golf and is incredible at his game. So if you liked him in his sport that should not change even after his personal issues. Quite frankly in my opinion Tiger should be still playing golf while he is in his "therapy" I mean, that's what he'd have to do if he had a corporate office job.
Pop culture creates an illusion and these famous people began believing that they are "larger than life" but they soon realize when it flips on the other side of the coin that they are not and that yes they too are human. SHOCK!
Give it up people and quit looking up to others and look in the mirror and start looking up to yourself. If you don't like what you see, than change it. But quit looking up at other people and living your life through theirs...that's the great thing about America...anything is possible, and those people you idolize is proof that it can happen. Get a grip on yourself! Peace out.
