How far would you go?

I was having a conversation with some of my buds bout how far are you willing to go to be rich and famous? I'm sure everyone has that dream of being a star and walking the red carpet with a whole lot of fans screaming at just the sight of you walkin by all trying desperately to to stampede their way pass the security just to get a touch or something. Wow, just thinkin bout that makes me feel like i wanna be a star too...i can just imagine. Then suddenly the harsh reality that surrounds us wakes us up to remind us that that is just a dream...or at least you want it to be, i wouldn't know. So anyway like i was sayin i asked like what would you do to get there? I mean take for example William Hung, i mean we all know he can't sing...and he sure as hell can't dance, but then that was due to no professional experience or training...don't think it will actually matter anyway, look at him he's not rich and famous all because of that clown act of his. You have to wonder does he even know people are laughing at him and not taking him seriously...i'm sure he does, after all i don't think anyone is that stupid. Sometimes i don't know whether i should be happy for him or to pity him.

If i were to give you an offer that guarantees you a life of stardom of being one of the rich and famous with the catch that you would be a fool and have the whole world laughing at your spastic ass would you still take up on that offer (not that i can actually give you that offer...hypothetically speakin la of course :P)? I know i sure as hell won't, i have more pride then to make a fool out of myself in front of the whole world to watch and laugh at. If it were all just an act like 'Mr.Bean' for example then its all good. But in this case you will be branded a fool and not that you merely act like one but an actual and complete moron. It really bothers me as to why Mr. Hung actually did what he did...i mean the chinese people all share one common characteristic and that is pride, we like to call in face. Their face is like so thick that they would rather die then embarrass/disgrace themselves and their families this way. Hrm, sometimes i just wonder what men would do to achieve their goals. Its amazing really how some people can bring themselves so low to achieve their goals.
