The paparazzi are the peddlers of truth. Celebrities and commoners are cleaved together as were the mythical Titans. Titans, according to Greek mythology, were hermaphrodites. Being both man and woman in one entity, they felt invincible because they could mate with themselves and so did not need the Gods for guidance.
The Gods did not like their hubris. So to show them who has the power, Zeus sent a lightning bolt that split the Titans in two, creating man and woman. Now man and woman can only feel the passion of unity through sexual points of contact.
Now the media, Gods of our own creation, plays the role of Zeus. He has split the female populace in two – the celebrities and the commoners. One being a projected image of bodily perfection and the other of normal mortal flaws.
Perfection is the embodiment of Truth. Normal as the perpetuation of Fraud. Contrived projected images of physically perfected celebrities touch us miserable lumps of flesh through visual points of contact.
A candid picture proves all this false as Perfection is seen in the harsh light of day as Normal after all.
