Why do Americans care so much about Bieber, Kardashian, and Kayne?

I could give a flying **** less, why is the american culture so obsessed with these people?   I cannot for the life of me figure this out, i wouldnt care if bieber was caught in a bathroom with 3 guys have sex, or if kim kardashian was doing cocaine on a public street,  I just dont care, does anyone feel the same??     

Why do the americans save everyone?

Idol worshipping.

The media cares about these individuals. Swanogt19

Why do people from other countries care what Americans care about? Don't you have your own weird, talentless celebrities put on pedestals for no reason?

It's not the masses that want to know, it's the media that wants to force celebrities on the citizen. The media doesn't want to portray "real" news so they show more and more celebrity news.

It's not just America

Teenagers are stupid, boobs/ass, bad taste in music. 

Most people I know can't stand the aforementioned people...cell_dweller

More the reason to not give a ****

when you pay for basic cable, your options are pretty limited.

You can watch the news, which is informative, but boring and depressing and incredibly biased and lame.

You can watch various documentaries and stuff, but all that essentially boils down to "reality TV" eventually and drama and heavily edited (if not scripted) stuff as well.

Cartoons are fun, but they tend to be very niche and only last so long.  Same thing with your sitcoms/drama/cop/scifi/action shows on NBC/FOX/CBS/etc

The end result is that the lowest form of entertainment is the easiest to watch, the stuff about famous people making idiots out of themselves.  Because at the end of the day you can go "Hey, I may make only $40k a year, but at least I am not a prick like these jackasses".  

And they're easy to market, and make boatloads of money off of.  And there are a loooooooooooooooooot of idiots out there that take this stuff seriously.

Well, I care about Kanye because he makes great hip hop.

It pisses me off that anyone follows the lives of any "celebrities" anywhere.  It's just lame.  Worry about your life instead of watching what some person you don't know is shopping for.

No idea why people woship thise false idols, I don't give a crap about celebs personal lifes, or sports.  Maybe people lifes are so boring, that they have to take an intrest in these people.

Thus going back to the media cares about these individuals. Because they want to make money like you said...Swanogt19

On the whole media vs demand thing, think its pointless to argue who is to hold most of the blame. Both groups have personal responsibility and just feed into the problem. Put blame on both. dave123321

The only time I here about any of those people is when I'm watching tv. They literally never come up in topic of conversation IRL. 

I actually don't know.CreatureRising

:lol:   yes i mean who gives a flying F*CK i could care less if they were standing next to me in a deli.      id treat them nicely just like I would anyone else, maybe if it was mark cerny or julie larson green i might be a little impressed.   but them, nah

i thought it was a phase kinda, I guess not, i agree, i wish i could just block them on xbox one IPTV and black out all news regarding lol like a facebook block, this thread wouldnt even show up on my computer  hahahahaha i wish i could have that since its apart of the culture.

As an american I can say I don't follow those people on a regular basis, we are just bombarded by the media as much as news about anything else.Stinger78

yes and its annoying.  

Unfortunately its not just Americans.

I find a lot of people find it "cool" to bash on those people.

Meh.

I agree, honestly I could care less what people who live outside of reality think (that goes for sports stars as well.) I can barely stand what my neighbor thinks let alone someone who makes millions and millions of dollars a year. I don't say this to offend anyone, but I honestly think it's because it's easy. The media puts it out there, the masses don't have to think much to be involved in it. Considering that most things that require critical thinking are ignored by a huge group of people, it's not a far stretch to say people like simple things to debate over and not something that actually requires real thought.
