Celebrity worship syndrome
 

I always figured people obsessed with celebs simply had a low IQ but apparently there is more to it.

Is this primarily an American issue or are these people common in other parts of the world?

I think i have CWS, towards Kate Beckinsale. I don't really want to worship her , i just want to fuck her brains out ....

What about those obsessed with the obsessed?

Have you seen the movie Anti-Viral? Takes the obsession a few steps further.
Brendan Cronenberg made it. Fairly good.

Getting people obsessed with bullshit celebs is a great way to take their attention away from what all the crooks in power are really doing. lol.

Exactly, I wouldn't laugh about this tho, it's a sort of mind control.
