Oh what a pathetic world we live in.
The youth of today, their minds polluted by good ol' American values, means that today's icons are people that 'look pretty' and are essentially imprinted on our minds through the medium of advertising.
Today's world is one where stupidity rules. It is generally the stupid people who are lauded as those we should look up to. The only possible exception to this is Stephen Hawking, who is regarded as brilliant, but no-one probably knows what he does (he is a physicist who specialises in black holes).
So if you want to be remembered by today's young generation, you just have to do something incredibly stupid. Did you notice at school, that the most stupid people were always the most popular?
That's enough bitching for today. I just hope that another phenomenon comes along that changes the world for the better (a la the Beatles), or the world will surely face implosion soon.
