GUEST,Fantasma BS: Celebrity Worship Syndrome (131* d) RE: BS: Celebrity Worship Syndrome 19 May 08

I was mostly talking about the celebrity worship syndrome in regards to the deaths of Princess Di & JFK Jr, not his president father.

Really over the top and screwed up reactions to both occurred, IMO.

I, of course, am not exactly the first person on the planet to note the cult of personality surrounding Obama. He just pulled in 65,000-75,000 people in Oregon, according to what I just read.

Something going on there, but I don't think it has anything to do with politics or our democracy. When a politician starts pulling in those numbers at political rallies you are looking at something a tad more messianic than just rock star status.
