CelebrityFIST Manifesto (02/27/10)
First - notice the “Preamble” above the name on top. As you can tell, its a play from a line from “V for Vendetta”. The point is that ‘celebrity’ (the idea, not a person) should NOT be respected by the public simply because it is celebrity but rather the idea is a celebrity simply because it is a creation of the public.
A simple - but strong - idea.
Celebrity, in and of itself, is a nebulous thing. However, the endorsements; the promotions; the ‘attendance fees’ are something totally different. In essence, people are being paid for being a ‘celebrity’ (perfect case in point: Paris Hilton’s ‘party fees’).
By that measure, we here at ChaozCentral not only see ‘celebrity’ as a bought and sold commodity but one ripe for ridicule. To offend is to bask in its glory. Does it make sense? Hell no! But then again neither does spending a fortune to film a bunch of supposed ‘nobodies’ for a ‘reality’ show that is scripted. No?
To make on last stab at a sober interpretation: Stars don’t fuck with us. We fuck with stars. Hows that?
