So I was sitting around thinking about the recent Jennifer Hudson tragedy a couple days ago. It occurred to me that celebrity is absolutely ridiculous. People die everyday, horrible things happen to families every day. Just because Jennifer Hudson was given an Oscar and was on American Idol, everyone needs to pay special attention to her? That's ridiculous. I'm not saying this isn't a tragic, I'm saying America leans on celebrity far too much.
Maybe this is a public mourning for every tragedy like this that has occurred. Maybe all of these tears and prayers are meant for everyone who has lost someone to this kind of brutal crime, or for that matter, lost someone at all. If that's so, it has some merit at least.
Just my 5 cents.
