I agree. I partly blame the media, for society has an obsession with mediocrity. I've ranted before about the amount of shelf space devoted to Kerry Katona's weekly nervous breakdowns or Pete 'n Jordan's latest dark "secret" or even Victoria Beckham's latest "trauma". I wish I could ask "who gives a fuck?", but the answer is that a great many people do.

The problem is this stuff sells, people seem interested in the utterly banal. The life of the idle "celebrity" who has no talent whatsoever is the new opiate to the masses. We have a 22 year old dispensing advice and selling perfume, who has no qualification for the job except that she's dating a Premiership footballer of dubious IQ. I wish I could say that the concept is laughable, but it isn't.
