Well I have to disagree somewhat. I think it does say something about our culture and society when the biggest celebrities and idols we have are people who plays games for a living (sports), people who sing/dance and people who pretend to be other people (actors/actresses.)
What happened to people who making a positive impact on this world for others? What about the great minds and thinkers of our age, the great artists? What about people who are trying to help the world advance and progress?
These people are not promoted because it's not financially beneficial to promote them. Once again it comes down to capitalism and the bottom line. Our idols are manufactured and fed to us so that we'll buy more of them, so that we'll be distracted by them and not think about the base issues of life.
I dunno, it says something like that anyways...
