One night at a restaurant

Vitorgan announced

And hit in the head

Kostya Bogomolov.

In one of the Moscow restaurants on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street (two players played a row in a restaurant of the same network a couple of months ago) because of the woman's artist and director.

The artist is Maxim Vitorgan, the director is Konstantin Bogomolov, and the woman is Ksenia Sobchak.

The media field is designed to satisfy our consciousness, and our mass consciousness was pleased to make this news the main thing in the last few days.

Although, strictly speaking, ordinary bytovuha. And the characters are not particularly remarkable. Classic inflated media persona.

Even if not to mention how the director Konstantin Bogomolov looks like, how many people who read the news about his fight with Vitorgan watched those performances at the Moscow Art Theater? With the current ticket prices.

What a star Vitorgan? Name offhand three films in which he starred. Yeah, not Evgeny Evstigneev and Clint Eastwood. However, also a celebrity.

Ksenia Anatolievna Sobchak against this background, of course, an outstanding personality. She was both a TV presenter, a presidential candidate, and the chief editor of a glossy publication. For her and fight is not a shame.

But on the whole, the red price of the whole story on the market day is a ditty at the beginning of this column.

People, which for some reason is considered to be celebrities, have dropped to primitive bytovuhi. Because these heroes cannot offer their fans any other picture of life, no more complex example for imitation.

There is no beauty, no scope, no secular brilliance in these events. The routine on the verge of district crime.

But look at the volume of the news of a similar nature in the general message flow of the information field. People like to follow the pretty poor life of fake celebrities - unreal, not representing themselves, doing nothing to celebrities.

The most revealing story in this area is Kim Kardashian. The daughter of a well-known lawyer is a unique American society, where a lawyer can be a real star - she became popular after, in 2006, the video allegedly accidentally, but in fact controlled, hit the video where Kim has sex with a dark-skinned singer, whose name now no one remembers.

And who is Kim Kardashian? Participant reality show. And the figurant of what is called the sex scandal. And if nobody saw those reality shows outside the US, many have seen her intimate video.

So what is she famous for? The fact that disgraced? What is its public capital, which allows it to be the leading event, to occupy volume bands in the gossip, to be a celebrity, in the end?

One of the latest news about Kardashian sounds like this: "The rapper gave her an expensive SUV." To paraphrase this headline, it turns out: "The rapper presented an SUV to a woman who in 2006 became famous for seeing the whole world saw the scene of her oral sex with another rapper." In general, of course. Celebrity.

What is the phenomenon of this voyeurism, why do people like to look at insignificant events in the lives of not the most outstanding people?

The first issue of a magazine about celebrities’s life was published in Great Britain in 1709, and the need for it means that it was formed much earlier. But then celebrities.

Why watch out for what you can do yourself?

On YouTube, videos where people play a computer game are very popular. It is customary to think that computer games themselves are a waste of time. But how then to call the observation of how an outsider plays the game?

Beautiful girl dress up Christmas tree. This is not the name of the porn. It's just that a girl is decorating a Christmas tree on her YouTube channel, and this is watched by a million people.

When children decorate the tree, the video gains more than eight million views.

What could be more routine, and most importantly - accessible to everyone in the world, than to decorate a Christmas tree? Only carry it, showered, through the apartment in the spring. And people, instead of doing it themselves, and maybe even with it, are watching how others do it.

People watch others travel. Moreover, the more affordable air travel becomes, the more directions it opens, the more travel guides are printed, the more popular are transfers - or videos - about other people's travels. People are also unremarkable, and nothing surprising in their travels is not doing.

We are accustomed to the fact that our life is not limited to our experience. We need more. Let the same, but more.

No matter how we live, we are sure that our life is not good enough and interesting. We need confirmation of two guesses: many people live the same way as we do, and there is still some kind of sparkling and unattainable life.

For the second is responsible generalized gossip.

For the first - YouTube.

We need to follow the life of mediocrity to feel a little better. In order to entrust to them what we ourselves do not want to do, we cannot, lazy.

And if it is too late to decorate a Christmas tree, it’s embarrassing to shoot and share a sex video with yourself in the lead role, then everyone can fight in a restaurant because of a woman.

Without this, consider that I did not live.

Now it is fashionable to talk about some fake news - fictional, but attention-grabbing messages about world events that form the information agenda.

Interest in something global, obscure, requiring expertise is quite natural. Let the messages about what is happening in the world is not always true, let them fake.

But the reports about what is happening in the restaurant are fake triple. Not because they are not true, but because all participants are fake.
