I am kinda of sick of hearing about how celebs got hacked and how it is such a big deal.

The media over hypes these things and really the celebs involved should of used stronger passwords and/or 2 factor authentication. They should of known better.

People get "hacked" this way tons of times by using weak passwords and/or security questions. You'll never see that appear in the media.

The inequality here is the importance the media places on Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence, etc. It a waste of tax payer money to get the "FBI" invoked. I see it also has a waste for the government to chummy up with these "celebs". Some of them are great entertainers no doubt, but what have they done to really deserve the popularity they have.

Have they build something that tremendously improves people lives. Are they key decision makers on items that effect people? Yes Jennifer Lawrence is a great actress but c'mon.

Stop giving importance to celebs by not reading news about them. Radaronline, Tmz, etc.



They are performing artist, how you feel about their contribution to society is based upon how you feel about performing artists in general.

Is society enriched by the eloquence of humanity of ballet? Does humanity prove itself to the universe when our best singers hold a pure note for a brief moment in time? What impact does a movie exploring some aspect of the human experience have upon the world?

Popular performing artists are popular because their performances bring some amount of joy to people's lives.
