Power

Here's a brief rant spurred by something I saw on TV tonight.

Everybody likes the feeling of power. And people get ridiculous when they get media fame. No matter how insignificant, brief, or even negative the attention is people relish in their 15 minutes of fame it because it gives them power. And it drives me nuts that the media takes every advantage of those types of situations to then exploit the person to get ratings. ARG, how irritating!

However, in the media's defense that type of exploitation is exactly what everyone wants to see. Case in point-The Jerry Springer Show!
