I've just wrote in another thread (Kate Garraway) regarding the oversharing of personal details, my position, like yours is: WHO CARES. It's so juvenile and pathetic. It smacks to me of some underlying self-control issue, or a need for attention that has been or is lacking somewhere. There might be some self-loathing issues or lack of self-worth. Maybe they enjoy demeaning themselves. It's hard to say without a psych-evaluation really. Broadcast media (and print media) really does attract these types of people though, I briefly worked in the field and was around these people (production side) ... I won't name names (you probably haven't heard of them anyway!), but I didn't enjoy being around them, they made me feel uncomfortable. It was as if they were deliberately saying things to get a reaction, to make you feel slightly uncomfortable, does that make sense? It's hard to describe and it's obviously not illegal, but it was just somehow inappropriate. Ugh, just unpleasant. Thinking back now, it kind of made me feel grubby somehow. Stained. It was as if they wanted to make me feel the same way as them ... Oh I don't know, it's hard to explain.
