Seriously guys?

Hello fellow Internet person!

This post isn't a review per say, however the topic itself has managed to spread itself over the Internet like a rabid disease so I thought it would be relevant. I am of course talking about the new 'hit single' by Rebbecca Black or as I call her 'The reason for everything shit in the world'.

I'm sure that most of you have heard this shitty excuse for music from somewhere, as it seems nearly impossible to escape the song. She's received millions of views on YouTube and has become an overnight celebrity, although for the wrong reasons. In interviews she claims to not understand why people are 'bullying' her with their insulting comments, but it's pretty plain to see. The majority of the general public enjoy the fact that they can easily abuse nearly anyone from the comfort of their own home, so creating a song purely celebrating the amazingness of 'Friday' was quite literally begging to have the shit ripped out of it. However, more influential celebrities such as Simon Cowell and Lady GaGa are also ignorant to the reasoning behind so much blind hatred. They called her work 'genius' and think that anyone who dislikes it is just talking 'shit'. To be honest this just says something about them, aren't they supposed to be intelligent? Apparantly not.

This then got me on to thinking about fame in general. I mean, Rebbecca Black has nearly killed the music industry, but she's also become incredibly famous for doing so. It seems that nowadays a person can become an icon for anything, even being hated by the masses. Gone are the days when a person had to actually show talent and intelligence to be famous and successful.

Depressing....no?
