Why is it . . .?

Question

That people with decent jobs are barely making ends meet because prices are rising so rapidly, but yet the richest celebrities are getting offered millions of dollars for some pictures of their f*ing twins>>

Answer 1

I agree, to pay millions just for a picture of a couple of babies is insane - but the U.S. is a celebrity obsessed nation - we're more concerned about celebrity babies and the latest celebrity scandal than what's going on in the real world. I'm the father of three and to be completely honest, if I put a picture of each of my kids (newborn) in front of me, I wouldn't be able to tell you which one was which. Now, if Angelina Scary-lips gave birth to a penguin.............that might be worth some big bucks.

Answer 2

the money they get comes from us, we watch the news buy the papers etc.....we can stop this

Answer 3

If it's any consolation to anyone, all that money ($3 million) is being donated to take care of children that Brad and Angelina cannot adopt.

If people are dumb enough to pay for the pics, why shouldn't they be smart enough to take it for other needy children?

Would you have donated it??

Answer 4

Market economics, of course - just one of the reasons for market forces being the very worst social determinant possible.

Time for a change.  Time for justice - and for the masters of this age to face the justice of those they have wronged.

Time for socialism.  Not the New Labour tories - socialism.

Answer 5

Because idiots pay to see those pictures.  Not me - I read those mags at the checkout and put them back; wouldn't waste my money on them!

Answer 6

because those people with decent jobs will actually buy the magazines with the twins pictures etc which bring in lots of money for them

people are so obsessed with celebrities and what goes on in their life that they forget about their own life

Answer 7

LOL, Michelle, I don't think I ever purchased these stupid magazines....well maybe when I was 14 or something I bought a tiger beat....(how embarrassing to admit that)  ;)
