Get A Grip, Celebrity Worshippers

I’ve been working on a semi-top secret project for the last couple of weeks. (Semi because I told my husband, sister and Slartibartfast about it.)

Part of this project involves research into some fan boards for various reality shows. I was reading one today and came across this nugget:

even plained [sic] on making them [gifts] for each of the [celebrities] for Christmas (I already bought the stuff so I am now going to make them for some [people] in my local womans shelter).

I do not understand the mindset of someone who would spend their time and money on a gift for a celebrity whom they can see already having more earthly possessions than half the country. I’m glad that these gifts will instead end up at a women’s shelter–but how many more go straight to the celebrity of choice?

As a libertarian I can’t stop people from being stupid, I guess.
