Take Me To Post Comment Form Every week the tabloids print the latest Britney Spear's recent daily "drama" to entertain the masses' unquenchable thirst for entertainment gawking with the latest victim's life under the microscope. Who would ever want to be Britney? Can you even imagine living her life? Getting up everyday to see what the new headlines are?? Now that she has been diagnosed with manic-depression, she seems to have become "freak of the week?" Except her "week" never ends! Why? Because it sells entertainment magazines and tabloids. Is she benefiting from the sale of articles seizing upon her recent exploits while struggling with a very serious debilitating mental illness? Armies of stockholders,publishers,reporters,photographers, informers and the like are making money off her emotional turmoil and distress while accepting no liability for doing so. I have never encountered such an intense American cultural pasttime so despicable as to enjoy the misery of another human soul for sheer purpose of entertainment. Now there are employees being fired for spying into her medical files which are supposed to be absolute sanctum of privacy. When money is being offered to be privy to the skeletons of someone else's closet humans are capable of absolutely anything regardless of who it may hurt. What need does this fulfill in our society? She is after all a human being first and foremost and a pop star second. Where is the compassion for the suffering of another? Is there no boundaries to this invasion of her privacy because she sold some CD's? The obsession America has with this persistent voyeurism of Britney's life borders upon insanity! She might have a chance to get a hold of her mental illness if she was given the chance to withdraw from the constant public eye's scrutiny. Why must we be fascinated with the antics of an obviously ill person? Enough is enough. If we stop buying these "weekly rags" there will be nothing valuable about Britney's daily behavioral eccentrities that are inherent in the course of a bipolar's life. I say "Stop the Insanity!" before it's too late and we become mentally ill with compulsive obsessive disorders marketed by the media to feed our addictions for more!!
