So why are you arguing the point Kristogar?

I dont need Animalman to tell me celebrities ARE held above almost all others. I know this...however bsams some others and I (and by your admission now) have been the only ones to point this fact out and how ridiculous it is. As yet I have seen Animalman only defend the celebrities.
Again, just because something IS doesnt mean ANYONE has to be happy about it.
