Once again, I’m reminded of the straw that broke the camel’s back.

People in the public-eye endure unconscionable behaviour by the public. Like frigging lab rats, they are followed, photographed, examined, dissected, diagnosed, judged and discussed by complete strangers. One straw after another, one invasion after another, millions of strangers violate the privacy of their homes, bodies, relationships and families.

How would we feel if we saw our next-door neighbor peering into our bedroom window with a pair of binoculars? How would we feel if we saw our neighbor photographing our children? We are violating public-figure’s privacy and that makes us the problem. Millions of Americans have a severe Voyeuristic Disorder.

If a public figure is lucky, when the last straw gets piled on, they will not be seen when their back breaks, and they go down.

Will Smith was unlucky –the last straw got piled on and he went down in front of the whole world. It was not Chris Rock who did that – it was us, the people who feed a multi-billion-dollar industry dedicated to getting us inside Will Smith’s bedroom, bathroom, doctor’s offices, marriage and children’s lives.

Did Will Smith slap Chris Rock, or did he slap us? I think Chris Rock was a proxy for millions of people infected by a voyeuristic disorder.

Anyways, those are my thoughts.
