American Idle ::: How far is too far?

Apparently there is nothing Entertainment has gotten out of control. It seems that we continue to search for random acts on the individual basis to fill your computer screen and newspapers with just to sell advertising.

So my question is who rips on the ripper? Who will take it into their hands to go out there and smash the paparazzi over the head with a camera or two. At this stage in the celebrity reporting game, the Paps are becoming more interesting than that of the subjects. They are becoming the outlaw blood suckers of the Hollywood gold rush.

Now I am fully aware that we would not pay to see them in a movie just yet. That our celebrities are more precious than fine gems. However they are taking over the Internet and our prime time with shows such as TMZ, and lets not forget the mild versions that has gone under the pap radar detection without a trace, E, Access Hollywood, and entertainment tonight. We can not forget the prototype's to the madness.

So what do we do, to throw them a curve ball or two, to slow down their swing. First I think we have to stop believing everything that we see. Much to say and know in the arena of entertainment and entertainer news. I have a huge hunch that this will be the new form of American Entertainment, its the generation of the entertainment at the cost of the entertainer, era. Although it sounds like something that they hired on for, and became actors and musicians for, I feel that they crave the spotlight so much so that they would do anything to stay in it or get into it.

When you live in a world, where you can mash together a porn tape, then end up on a reality show with a semi wholesome image and go on to have a career in such format. It tells you much about the mind set of Americas new generation and what the world will be like in 20 years if we do not find a way to get the minds of our youth in the right place.

I am not one to knock pure entertainment no matter what form it is. However if it takes a toll on the current status of mind or matter, and destroys the will power of the citizens then we have a beef, that must be reconciled. At what point do we not take into account the madness, and measure our kids and current teen population.

Allow me to give you a prime example:

For instance take a look at Youtube and the amount of damage taking place with girls shaking their hides and kids staging fights just to get their 15 minutes. Now I know you can argue and say that this will take place in one form or another, however I beg to say, that it is happening at an alarming rate because the outlet is their for the youth population to carry out tremendous acts entertaining a larger audience. We all know that it is viral, and once it sets in it spreads until it can take over and host as many areas as it can.

So in saying all of this I just want to remind Americans and the rest of our global family that we need to rethink our thought process and spend more time building out minds and perhaps we will be able to put more out there that would be of an educational but yet entertaining alongside the raw and uncut entertainment. It is all about a balance that will play a role in offering up the options that will keep the minds healthy that partake in visual entertainment, whether it be from our stars or from a virtual unknown.

Although these videos are in response to something that has taken place, it will allow you a glimpse into the world I speak of. Also I threw in a video that may or may not advocate such acts but it reminds me so much as to what has taken place.

I am not stating that Entertainment or its entertainers are the blame, I am pointing at no one, but the minds that are soaking up such imagery and the parents that should guide them.

Here are some videos to get you thinking:
