Its really hard to recognize what defines a decade when you are in it, but I would hazard a guess that mindless celebrity culture might be it. Obviously, celebrity has always been a huge component of culture, but recently it has become the dominant one. This has been a decade where America went to war and nobody paid attention because they were more interested in Paris Hilton’s court outfit.
With these words, Smashing Telly introduces us to this fascinating and disturbing documentary about the celebrity machine in the US, who has created the Paris Hilton phenomenon, who in turn feeds herself on the media that have spawned her.
The documentary explains it better than I have. Go watch it!

This is a devastating indictment of modern "culture" such as it is. Now, let's all go see PH's latest SENSATION, "The Hottie and the Nottie!". http://ewww.tmz.com/2008/02/09/paris-box-office-bomber/
Something I will never understand: why didn't they call it "The Hottie and the Naughty"?
Wow. That was really a sensational piece of footage...!!!!
;o)
