Let me explain myself lest there be misunderstanding I don t argue that this so called article be deleted for its title let s label shit shit Nor am I adamantly opposed to pop culture in general I tolerate Pokemon though I m glad to see that my suggestion was finally taken and the army of meaningless ripoffs merged and deleted No I say that this topic has no value whatever on any level Cruise is an actor rich and popular yes but still an actor His job is to imitate or pretend to simulate This has not the importance of say a common emergency room physician whose job it is to save lives and relieve suffering Granted Cruise entertains not well perhaps but with some ability Yet even as an actor he is poor He is not merely poor in skill he is poor as a human being lacking depth and perspective Even Leonardo DiCaprio who previously held the chair of pretty face idiot has matured somewhat while Cruise has merely gotten old and still has no more dimension than a sheet of paper Add to this the fact that Cruise is a Scientology nutcase and you are forced to see that anything he might say unscripted is utterly worthless chatter Next consider Holmes who has never done any work of quality a professional cipher at best a pretty woman of which there are more than are notable Her marriage to Cruise is the most prominent item on her resume It is impossible to gain any insight into the human condition by gazing into this shallow saucer Unite these two and as is entirely routine an offspring results They have done absolutely nothing else together of even slight interest You can not convince me that jumping on a couch on teevee is deviant interesting unusual noteworthy or in any way deserving of discussion and in any case the two did not do this together Now if the man doused himself with gasoline and set himself on fire yes I might watch that and want to know why The child herself is an infant has done nothing whatever that rates a single glyph anywhere outside of her parents hearts The single notable phenomenon which this article raises is common to a great range of media personalities people generally without any real personality who have good press agents and a talent for high profile temper tantrums Paris Hilton comes to mind Such people milk the publicity industry to create a spurious flurry of interest In Cruise s case I grant that his career has been sufficient to grant him notability on his own I ll tolerate Holmes on the same level as South Fremont High School of St Anthony Idaho this is touted as an encyclopedia so let it be encyclopedic The couple or family however is nothing apart from its members The words on this page to whatever extent they do not apply to or can not be merged into individual articles has value only inasmuch as the topic of mediacruft is explored examined and discussed Merge into Famous for being famous and obliterate with a WMD
