now if u'v been following my tirades, you know that i don't have much of a long fuse for hype (short for hyperbole of course, hence, inappropriate, over-done, gushy, etc).
but from my experience, it's almost unfair to the person being hyped: they may be a totally different person in reality (not reality tv, also bullshit). actually i've met some hyped performers on film sets especially and most of them seem pretty nice, mellow, hard working.
now the ones who are being arrested, going bankrupt, doing too many drugs, etc: you wonder if a big part of their problems is that they believe the hype
so it's all the bullshit that surrounds them that i suppose i hate. all the media attention, idiot fans, people paying hard earned money for these folks. i've always had a short fuse for ignorance as well and i suppose that hype is another ugly form of it. .
