Sean Penn on Charlie Rose (PBS, 3/16/12) said "Celebritidom is an infection that everyone has embraced." Perhaps, what is even more accurate is that celebritidom is a virtual human virus that has "infected" everyone. Our American (or is it world wide?) obsession with celebritidom may be a major reason that American jobs have become outsourced, instead of the outsourcing of American jobs being part of a New World Order conspiracy, i.e., what David Icke, and other conspiracy theorists contend.

Perhaps the reason so many American jobs were outsourced is because instead of Americans doing their jobs, Americans' jobs were "doing" them! Instead of taking pride in their work, most Americans, including American managers, directors, CEO's, etc., arrive at work late, (exceptions of course are airlines and other transportation companies, in fact sometimes, when planes are full they may depart BEFORE scheduled ETD, Estimated Time of Departure). In many instances workers, etc., are no-shows, absent as much or more than they are present, and absent, mentally, even when "present". American workers, etc., prefer long weekends, starting Wednesdays and ending Tuesdays, and when AT work they feel entitled and prefer to be on social media, etc., or if prevented from these diversions, the majority of American workers make it a point to be as obnoxious as possible, (taking "The Office" as their "working" model).

Americans all believe they are entitled to their at least 15 minutes of fame and their work, either in the actual "legitimate" economy or the grey, black or shadow underground economies, is, they "reason" only the means to this end. Other countries, at least for the time being, are grateful and most importantly, more patient and professional in their work ethic, even while being paid almost slave wages! I wish I was wrong about this, but to prove I am right, just TRY to have a debate on this, I assure you it would be prevented, BECAUSE OF DEFENSIVENESS! And the DEFENSIVENESS alone will show that this explanation is true!

Most Americans, even those with identities other than workers, prefer illusion and being dramatic and egotistical "victims" because they are all wanting to be in "reality shows" instead of being themselves authentically (meaning with awareness of their dark sides, "warts" and all) in real life! Perhaps in the future most Americans WILL be fully employed when HOLLYWOOD arrives as the McDonalds-Walmart-Disney, etc. entertainment-employer-of record on almost every block, in every town, in every county, in every state.

Then most Americans' EGO AND DRAMA will be "hired", instead of their various fake identities, their EGO AND DRAMA will be filmed and distributed to the rest of the world! Then Americans will perhaps be fully employed and get paid for and play the roles of dramatic and egotistical buffoons for the rest of the world. This is namely what most Americans "do" best. Someday Americans may realize that instead of HAVING their ego and drama to enhance their race, gender, ethnic, religious, etc., identity, their ego and drama identities HAVE them. www.detectobnoxiousness.com
