Celebrity Big Brother UK

I have found myself getting interested and a little fascinated by Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. I don't know if it so for the right or wrong reason, but it is with total shock that I view these so called celebrities to whom we are supposed to aspire.
They just seem to be such small uneducated people, with absolutely no idea, of anything. Jade Goodie, swanning in her new found fame, seeming to show levels of maturity then completely shooting herself down with dumb questions about Eskimos. Her boyfriend who seems to have even less education (note I don't say intelligence), not knowing what an Embyro is! A footballers Girlfriend... Really is she a celebrity... I mean come on. A couple of whinny has beens and some stars trying to revitalise or bring new scope to their careers.
Only thing I know is that there are animals in this world that I would rather aspire to than the crop of vacuous dolts pitched to us as celebrities in this day and age on just about every reality show going on any channel.
As a news editor recently said on Question Time, the public create the celebrity market by reading trash about unimportant people, made important only by our insatiatable need for .... I don't even know what. And, I suppose, expecting anyone to actually stop buying these trash celebrity magazines is just a lost cause. I can only assume the people who read them are as shallow and vacuous as the stars publicised in them.
