dwarf Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I wouldn't call that a double facepalm moment. I think it's partly down to the fact that people don't understand what being famous entails and so they are let down and don't know what to do about it. I don't think that's been covered in the general 'alienation/pressure' analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Tbh, alienation / pressure pretty much covers it, so there isn't a lot to say... hence the double-facepalm... *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 No it isn't a great discussion, the answer in itself is obvious. Hundreds of people die from heartattacks, strokes etc at young ages all around the world. They just don't have the status to be in the headlines.

Rummy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 There's a name for something kind of related to this but I don't know what it is. Like, the idea of a tiny miniscule chance thing happening to someone, only it happens cos there's so many people/possibilities. Law of large numbers or something? I do agree it's already been explained why this happens though. Firstly, the stress and pressure of fame and contribute. Second, shit like this happens everyday to everyday ordinary people who aren't famous, worse things happen even, only no large sample of people notices/cares because it isn't as exposed as with a famous person. What other answer is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all play into each other and this, though. But the bigggest acts of all time nearly every single one bar whom has ended in trajedy Don't be a fool, are you honestly believing this? For every one you name that 'ended in tragedy', I can probably match with ones that didn't. Also, alot were sometimes self-inflicted, such as drugs overdoses and such, I'm not sure how much I consider those tradegies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
