Maybe its not celebrities that are crazy... maybe its the responsible adults (or so we think). Barack Obama recently discussed potential Inauguration tuxedos with People Magazine. Why, you may ask. Because everyone wants to looks good! Duh!
The funny thing is is that this is not just life as spectacle... this is our next President. Emphasis on PRESIDENT. Do I care if he is having trouble deciding between Gucci or Armani? NO! I would much rather hear about his cabinet choices, economic plan, and what kind of puppy he is getting his daughters... Clothing... that's secondary in importance.
It's difficult to study things like Society as Spectacle when there is no real distinction between the two. Media has altered everyone's reality in the U.S. and the world by not only showing us what "they" want us to see but framing it in a way it seems objective... It's scary.
Good luck, Obama, on your tuxedo choices. May the force be with you...
