There is an unhealthy obsession to be famous even if it is at the cost of ones dignity. Many of these "talent shows" are just an excuse to see how much humiliation a person will take just to get their 15 minutes of fame. It is glaringly obvious that most of the population would do an awful lot of degrading activities just to get a chance at fame, but this also shows how society itself enjoys to see people get humiliated and embarrassed on TV, how else can you explain the astronomical rise in "reality shows"?
Almost everyone has a desire to be noticed, but there is more than one way to get the attention you require, but people want the quick and easy method which is usually TV or become an underwear model. Not a lot of kids would equate a good education one of the ways to be noticed for the right reasons. With a solid education you could acquire enough wealth through perseverance and hard work. The quest for fame is disturbing and somewhat unsafe. Any person who is so desperate to get an ounce of fame will do almost anything to do it and the world is full of unpleasant people who would just love to exploit it for their own gain. And with the internet becoming so easy to access it is becoming increasingly dangerous, as a story has unfolded about how a US mother forced her daughter to pose naked infront of the webcam so that a stranger posing as a photographer could see her. The mother was charged with child endangerment eventhough she also posed naked for the camera, but this has just proven my point, people are willing to ignore common sence in the faintest hope of fame. Do people who are famous look that happy? With the paparazzi snapping every minute of their day and with the tabloids constantly reporting rumours as facts-
Who would want that?
