Im hating Bob More and more every single episode he does.
I mean, god. Sucessful movies are sucessful for a reason, man.
Because they're POPULAR, which does not necessarily mean they're GOOD. Did you love the popular kids when you were in high school? Did you say "Wow, those kids are popular for a reason. They deserve it."
By your logic, Jersey Shore is at least 5 times better than Firefly because it's been renewed for so many more seasons, and Justin Bieber is probably better than your favorite band.
Uhh, no shit?
I mean, i was under the assumption that Beiber and Jersey were hates
Because They were popular.
Why is beiber popular? Because girls all around the world live his singing. Just because the part of the internet that hates him and his music exists, doesnt mean that his music is bad. I know that, quite litteraly, almost every single girl that was in my Highschool science class loved bieber, loved twilight and loved the flaunt both of them around.
Yes, i hate them. But just because i hate them doesnt mean that they arent good to someone.
Let me put it this way; My favorite books?? Matthew Reilly's. (Look it up) Why arent they popular? Because not a whole bunch of people like reading longer books written by an Australian who writes about American conspiracies. Why is twilight popular? Because
Millions of girls all around the world Want to read a book about a strong romance book.
The same thing applies to music; The Beiber is more popular than my favourite band, Korpiklaani, because the genre of music is more enjoyable to the greater masses. Folk/Metal just doesnt resonate with either the Lovey-Pop music crowd, or the Rap/Dubstep crowd, for what i presume are obvious reasons.
Taking it one step further; Popular people are popular for a reason.
I wasnt popular in school. Why? Cause im probably that fattest person in Western Australia. Have been for years. Why was someone else popular? Becuase they were
a) Rich, therefore able to squander cash and invite people over to the no doubt rich homes, b) Good at sports, therefore (In a sporty country; where sports are a massive part of school life) people would automatically try and join the (Litteral) Winning team, and
c) Were a much better alternative to being friends with the obese short guy who was only known for enjoying "Video Games" Such as "Kingdom Hearts".
So yes, popular people are popular for a reason, and, whether by fate or design, they deserve it.
Now i would love to debunk that Jersey shore/FireFly thing, but i cant. Mainly because Jersey shore isnt a Australian thing, and i have no idea what it is, and i saw FireFly, but Didnt like it.
(FakeEdit: Upon some quick googling, i cant find a single mention of Jersey Shore airing in Australia, the only direct reference was someone called Snooki "Comming to Australia" at some point. The only knowledge i have of this show is off Memebase, so im not even including that in my responce)
