Netizens are said to be an intelligent population. Hence, let us put an end to the culture of fixation on trivial events like controversies involving celebrities. I am obviously referring to the scandal involving Vhong Navarro. My FB and twitter feed is full of posts related to this 'scandal'. Even worse is the airtime of primetime news being dominated by this story.
There are other stories to listen to. There are other topics to talk about. There are REAL ISSUES that hound our society that requires public scrutiny and attention.
To qoute a certain showbiz reporter loosely, "Never take an entertainment story seriously. For all you know, it could be scripted. After all, entertainment news should bring you entertainment."
Regardless whether this latest showbiz scandal is scripted or not, we shall not allow ourselves to be deviated from the real issues that we need to confront.
The worldly issues of Vhong, Cedric and Deniece involving sex, power and violence has nothing to do with our personal lives. The misbehavior of the rich and the famous, their lack of self control and the consequences of their actions is not a matter of NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. Having stories of such nature take precedence over issues related to our national interest as a subject of public discourse speaks lowly of our priorities as a people. Let us be a mature, intelligent population.
Let's stop giving a sh*t about this. Please.
