H.O.P.E.

When I somehow came across the link for the Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment (HOPE) website (particularly their series on the Oscars), it immediately made me think of Josh's post on the cult of celebrity that is most violently exhibited at these big awards shows. And while crashing celebrity parties to report on the inane banter of A-listers and agents, walking past the E entertainment live feed with "This is News?" signs, and getting your picture taken with a variety of happily posing celebs while holding an "I am Horrified" sign might not actually change the celebrity system, it is rather fun to read about.
