And I thought Paris Hilton was stupidly famous. I think people have more time on their hands than they have sense.

Probably right there. I have accounts at both Facebook and Twitter but until they pay me, I will not use them a whole lot, except to create some buzz about a bzz agent campaign or something like that. When I post stuff on Gather if I remember to do it I post it to FB and to Twitter. I dropped Linked in When I started getting spam invites from non existent people, about fifty to a hundred a day. I do not have time for that, either.

50 people a day? Yikes! I've only had two invites from people I've never heard of on LinkedIn. 50 a day is completely crazy!

Some really funky names as well. I had lots of the last name Salazar, I believe. Like Yolanda, and Yuri, and Anastasia. Then of course there were a lot of funny and unusual first names, like Vladimir, twice in one day, once he was a Salazar and another time someone else and then Victor. Oh, and Zelda. It got really funny when it would be first name one culture last name another culture. Non existent people, by the way.

She's like Paris Hilton - famous for being famous. She's what used to be called a debutante: the rich daughter of a rich family who spends her time doing pointless, stupid stuff to be popular and famous. She adds absolutely nothing to society (and in my opinion detracts enormously from important things), produces nothing and, as far as I can see, doesn't even think on a regular basis.
I don't find her (or Hilton) attractive, as it happens, but that's a personal thing.

she is a spoiled little rich girl who either got married to make a quick buck or is genuinely not very smart to get married on a whim (sorry folks, being married for 24 years and engaged for 2 years before that, i think i know a thing or two about being married!)

It was obviously a press stunt (or she's congenitally not smart). Married for 72 hours, files for divorce and the guy only finds out about it when she starts giving press conferences? If that isn't doing stupid stuff for publicity, I don't know what is.

Me either. Then again, given Ms. Kardashian's... um... prominent posterior, I suppose it'd be better to follow than to have to stand next to her and listen.

I think your confusion stems from the fact that your are operating from a false premise -- that most humans are intelligent! :P

I think the majority of people who follow any kind of celebrity, including a political one, could better spend their time elsewhere. I do admit that there is more to be learned and probably less entertainment value following the Prez. I bet he does not tweet as often as KK and he does not have her looks either.

No, he is just not voluptuous enough. You know that mental image is rather disturbing.

You don't think Obama would look lovely in a low-cut evening gown?

hi spike and what makes you think that humans are all intelligent? I mean those who eat up that drivel about Paris Hilton and all her sleazy ways and that oh so picked on Lindsey Lohan, poor thing just because she walked out a a high class jewelery'store wearing a zillion dollar necklace, why they want to call her a thief? shame on them,not.I would not give two pennies for either one of these two twits.yet people go ape over those two and many others just like them.Is it because their money lets them do crap the rest of us would be jailed for for an indeterminate time?Are some of us jealous of them? What ever for I ask myself. both of them have done nothing to help anyone,least of all Paris Hilton so why all the adulation? its the same thing that makes people followers of Kim Kardashain on Twitter I myself do not belong to twitter. My table mate Steve asked me what twitter was and I told him since I am not a member of Twitter I do not know anything about Twitter except I gather its another social network. So I can only guess they tweet a lot like social gathering of birds

Lohan's another case entirely, IMHO. She's obviously got priority issues. I remember her saying she just wanted attention (years ago). Doing daft things like not turning up for court dates (or whatever it was she did recently) just adds to her level of ridiculousness. Unlike KK and Hilton, she needs a bit of therapy to sort herself out, then she'd have something to contribute. I mean, she's not an awful actress. Not quite.

Your right that is sad, but unfortunately the world is filled with many stupid people who claim to be intelligent. Now I'm not talking about education here, but just plain old common sense. Apparently people today no longer have that or if they do they fail to use it.

But people didn't have to pick either... they could have picked really interesting people like me or you.
The scary thing is that over 11.5 million people actively and consciously CHOSE to follow a useless airhead. At least a President has a purpose.

Corollary: We tend to assume a certain uses of intelligence. Looking at what intelligent people actually do, modify the perception.

This is a phenomenon I will never understand but as a culture we seem to have fascination with people that have no real value as human beings. It seems that these people will always be big business as there is an endless supply of women who want to be just like them and men who aspire to have women who look just like them.

Precisely. I mean, I can understand the fact that both Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber have over 15 million followers - music is an international language, after all (even if I think they both suck, pretty much) - but KK? How does she add any kind of value to life?
Quite the opposite, in my opinion.

oh, that's right. and Its like people are more concerned with the latest celebrity blind items or are more concerned with these nonsense than to know what the country is in for the next couple of years.
You know the world is a mess when people would rather do facebook or follow strangers in twitters than work, or take care of their children... haha
