For them, and celebrities like them, it's normal...sad to say. For you and me, we'd be in jail, so FAST!!!!

Besides all of this...the only important thing is that we are watching. No matter what we feel about it, we are captivated by the spectacle of it. It sells. And viewers are suckers for it. We are being manipulated, and that's what Tv...and film, for that matter, is all about.

Certainly, it's not about making moral judgements, because if we watch entertainment like this, what makes us better than someone who doesn't ? Not much, I'm afraid.
