oh man, i'm really taking my comm theories to heart. :)) my favorite so far has been theodor adorno's culture industry which has further fueled my obsession with Fight Club and Into The Wild-esque beliefs and concepts. strange, lots of people think they agree with Tyler Durden and Christopher McCandless, but really, people (or people i know) just like capitalism more.

but the society's clingy-ness to commodified and industrialized products and ideas are not what i'm going to complain about today :3 it'll be about how i know lots of people and fans of Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (of Twilight fame) so much that they are almost bugging them to get together for real. what the fuck? and no, its not that i like Michael Angarano (Kstew's current boyfriend) more or whatever. i dont even like Twilight that much. and i sure as hell dont care about the cast. i'm just thinking about how these fans are soooo into Bella/Edward that they're forgetting that Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are real people. with preferences. with personal lives beyond the fictional characters they represent. so what if they look that good together? its just not fair that its like their audience is forcing them to make their characters real. besides, how do these fans think Kristen Stewart, Michael Angarano and Rob Pattinson would feel???

M.A : oh, kristen, how am i going to keep you? i dont quite have that rugged, vampire-y charm rob posesses, and people probably dont even remember Sky High.

K.S : babe babe, its okay; i only use my bedroom eyes with rob so i can satisfy all my adoring fans. our almost-kiss in the mtv movie awards was just to hype up New Moon, and i only gave him my shoestring bracelet and backpack as a publicity stunt.

R.P : *awkwaaaard* dude, michael, i'm really sorry for all the weirdness this saga is causing. but give it a few more years, you know, maybe all this shit'll die down. uhhh, i hope you can take it 'til then though...*awkwaaaard*

dont you think all that pressure and scrutiny from these fans who look into the tiniest things are affecting their personal lives?? :| i mean these actors are being almost dehumanized now! i mean, how much do you really need to be involved with their life? they're just trying to do their jobs as performers. why dont you bug your friends who have good chemisty but are with different people to get together while you're at it? would you do that to your friends, who are close to you? no? but its similar! see, slaves of the culture industry and the mass ornament dont care about that- they care about their needs as a consumer! they think of these actors as commodities because they're not friends or are related with them! how sad is that? we are such docile sheep of capitalism. whew, okay. rant over.

this culture industrialized world has left me in despair and more cynical than ever!! :(

i will find the answer in Peels.
