As I came back form a week-long trip from the Dominican Republic, in which I was completely offline and uninformed of any kind of news, I went online and read the news and celebrity tabloids. As I went through the headlines, I asked myself, does this really interest me? Do I really care where these people go to dinner and who they are dating?
The answer is NO.
Not only do all these headlines not interest me, they make me feel bad for how invasive the media and paparazzi have become. The number one read story of the day on Sunday October 14th was about how Ashton Kutcher spoon-fed his girlfriend Mila Kunis. If they are a couple, why can't they engage in these activities without being bothered? The worst part is that his headline only scratches the surface of how intrusive the media gets.
Even though by the time I read through the majority of the headlines I felt completely and utterly disgusted by the invasion of privacy, I went on to look at pictures. Personally, I would consider these pictures "stalker-pictures," all of these celebrities are just trying to live a normal life and make a living, yet they cannot even go to the local coffee shop without being harassed.
The lack of privacy that these people have is ridiculous, nobody should ever have to watch their every move and remember that there is always someone watching. After getting to this conclusion, I now ask myself, why is it that we are so interested in this kind of information? If we were in their position, wouldn't we be annoyed and angry?
