People’s Choice Awards…
Posted by admin on Jan 9th, 2007
It was on. I watched a portion of it. I hated it.
A couple of days ago people were critical of this painting I posted depicting Angelina Jolie as an object of veneration, by artist Katie Kretz . A friend who protested the painting and celebrity publicity, said that if the tabloids disappeared from the supermarket, no one would miss them nor the celebrities they promote. I had to disagree.
If you watched the People’s Choice Awards tonight, you know how right-on this artist was in painting the piece. There is most definitely a cult of celebrity. And the “People” make really poor choices for their entertainment.
This awards show represents “popular” culture. These celebrities are “popular” cult figures.
And some people want us to elect our president by “popular” vote! Can you imagine?
