Please Lord, a little mercy
:: The Playlist ::: Madonna To Remake 'Casablanca'; Set The Film In Iraq?
Madonna really makes me cringe sometimes? Why can't she stick to pop stardom? Did she really have to remake "American Pie?" At least the world forgot that one... but Casablanca? Please don't touch that!
And Scarlett Johansson wants to record an album of Tom Waits covers? Sigh.. sighs of the apocalypse?

This is a fantastic column from earlier in the month. I found Hymowitz's argument quite compelling, and many of the exhibitionist trends she cited struck me as both truthful and worrisome. Do we truly live in a fame crazed society? Or are we fostering a narcissistic culture that is eternally looking inward and believes the internet and multimedia to merely be a mirror when in fact it is a window for the faceless masses to look in to matters traditionally of deepest privacy?
An excerpt:
It seems that men, despite their reputation as braggarts, actually don't find self-exposure all that appealing. Where are the male counterparts to Britney Spears and "Girls Gone Wild"? Jessica Cutler, the D.C. sex-blogger known as Washingtienne and a one-time congressional intern, is now being sued for $20 million by one of her gentleman callers, who for some reason preferred that his bedroom antics remain, well, in the bedroom.
Now, I don't per se agree with how the author broke down her argument along gender lines, but I do feel there is a rift in modern society between exhibitionists and those striving for a maximum of privacy. Generally, I choose to side with the privacy group these days (although I'm fully aware of the irony of writing this on a blog--but that is why I try to keep KQ relatively anonymous and impersonal).
