anybody looking for cheap traffic?
interesting little social commentary on the interenet of today. for all outside of the us - are people in your country following this case at all?
gotta love the US and the sensationalism these court cases draw.
But more seriously.. i see it pop up on news.google and on cable tv with larry king, but didnt seem very interesting to me to stay tuned or click for more.. Iid never heard about him before last week. Now all i know he plays basketball, is quite famous and quite young and put himself in a compromising position he shouldnt have as a "celebrity"
Im in Thailand but am interested in US political and business news sometimes.
and find the US public's fascination with their celebrities almost as curious as the Thai's fascination with their own celebrities,, (and certain pommie soccer players...)
the media wants it to become another oj simpson fiasco. we love our celebrities - and we love hearing about them even more when they get into some hot water.
i don't watch television, but apparantly that mindset has invaded the internet very thoroughly. i mean..."the most popular online search topics in history"...
i don't know anything about thai celebrities but i would assume this is pretty much the norm. After all, wasn't gossip the first marketing medium?
