How to Control a Celebrity Like a Puppet

Really enjoy this series. You’ll miss your privacy when it’s gone. Curb your narcissism and incessant need to parade yourself in front of the global Internet lens, and preserve your freedom of anonymity.

WOW More things I didn't know anything about and I don't care about. But the whole thing mostly seems really sad.

Well done Amanda, you nailed it. This is very sad and exposing this is a public service.

Very cool Very interesting I loved this. Fascinating. We have certainly moved a long way from the Studio model with the the big Studios “owning” the stars by locking them into long term contracts (to create a monopoly on content) The key difference today is that we have so many platforms to consume media from (smartphone, iPad, bus stop hoarding etc) This trend will only accelerate.....but we should always remember our humanity...we are not content....or business models.....or rebranding opportunities.....we are just humans (often) struggling to navigate our way in this (often) confusing and complex world

Don't give a flying about celebrities, never have. American disease, people being famous for next to nothing. No achievement, no talent, just empty lives filling themselves with their own reflections.

This made me want to hire Rebecca Black to sing Friday. God, that song is catchy.

I love this series, please keep them coming! Thank you Amanda and co.

In these days of data mining and instant Internet reporting, anonymity is something to be treasured. Once you are a celebrity or the subject of an Internet meme, you are fixed forever like a fly in amber. Forget Andy Warhol's "15 minutes of fame." Andy Warhol was part of the TV generation. TV programs aired once and then were forgotten--unless they popped up as reruns. But even those eventually ended and the film image became memory, which is fluid, changeable, organic. Now that cameras watch us everywhere we go and facial recognition software analyzes our every grimace, the only freedom is in being unknown, unrecognizable, genderless, ageless--meaning any gender, any age, anyone, anything.

The fact that I missed out on the Mr. Belvedere Fun Kit is something that will haunt me forever.

I find this entire presentation impossible. There are no clear directions. There is no adequate explanation to one who happens as I did on clicking to get here. Usability should be ensured before something as iffy is presented.
