Why is America so obsessed with celebrities?

Americans don't have any real values or morale. They are a plastic hedonistic people. Hollywood perfectly embodies the superficial mentality of the typical American idiot, that being said Americans find it necessary to glorify them and put them on a pedestal above themselves. Real laborers are often undermined and left unappreciated because that's the type of pseudo-culture we live in. We expect that everything will be there and done for us, and we honestly don't care how it got there, and what sacrifices were made for it, so long as we didn't have to get it for ourselves. That's why the world around us resents us. No one else sits in a little plastic bubble criticizing the world around it, when it can't even fathom or begin to grasp what the world around it has to do to achieve the things the greedy, hedonistic American pseudo-culture takes for granted, b/c they don't have to sacrifice anything for it. They're justified in hating us b/c we haven't earned anything in the last fifty years, as a society we spit on the little man, even when we are the little man. Hollywood is America without denial, and that is why Americans are obsessed with celebrities and celebrity status.
