To become a celebrity now days does not require talent any more, all you have to do is to be real weird.

Weirdness rule.

Because it's entertaining in a world devoted to escapism.

Case in point:

well, in review, she is a nice lady that didn't say anyting vulgar or ugly or unkind. She didn't make any political statements and didn't attack anyone.

she just showed a bit of joy in life.


and somehow within about 3 days, 100 million people saw her video.


She went on a number of different programs, smiled, laughed and was nice and kind.

Then she went home. and shared how she loves God...

so I aint gonna hate on her and dear Sweet Clean Baby Jesus isn't it nice to see someone that isn't an idiot betting attention?

She seems like a great person. I just don't understand how her selfie video "went viral". I think a lot of these "internet sensations" are manipulated, and designed to keep distracting people. There are thousands of selfie videos posted daily, and yet certain things "suddenly" become "famously viral".

We live in the Truman Show.

It went viral because we live in a society badly in need of joy. She showed that joy unspeakable and it resonated with people.

On one talk show she told how she received a FB message from a mother with an autistic daughter. The daughter watched the video over and over and just laughed. That little girl hadn't laughed in 3 months. The mother was overwhelmed with emotion.

That's the kind of reaction people have when they see that video. You just can't help smile and laugh.

People need joy
