Advertisers turn these ordinary people with special skills into heroes and role models just to sell shoes, clothes and cars and a lot of people buy into it. Next fans feel let down if they don't live up to expectations. I think it's a mistake to encourage children to look for role models they don't know personally. Pick out a relative or a neighbor and sing their praises. That's what we did.
In the good old days, reporters looked the other way if you were famous. Now everyone is a reporter and everyone has a camera.
