Forbes Celebrity Infant Exploitation
One of the most disturbing trends I’ve seen in the celebrity subculture (which is filled with disturbing facets) is the media and paparazzi focus on the babies of celebrities. While I understand the perverse celebrity fascination of our culture is naturally going to extend to the celebrity’s children, it is still a very troubling development.
It seems to me that there’s just something very wrong about the numerous pictures of celebrity babies that are all over the tabloids and magazines. It seems that people should have the decency not to publish such pictures… but, as my friends have pointed out, I’m living in a dream world. No, not exactly… I’m living in Jesus’ world actually.
Forbes has gone so far as to validate and make acceptable this whole practice by recently publishing Hollywood’s Most Influential Infants. They’re going to declare that Shiloh gets top honors while Sean Preston Federline is #5. How twisted can you get?
Shame on you Forbes for helping to propagate this sick obsession. It’s truly terrible when a mainstream source is going to further make acceptable something that shouldn’t be exploited.
I understand that the media and paparazzi are going to jump all over the famous adults who have voluntarily put themselves in the spotlight. And, that’s fine. Here on the website I founded we too take critical looks at these people and their effect on the culture; the children, however, did not choose the spotlight and they deserve the peace and anonymity of childhood.
