OK, is Chaz Bono's celebrity any more of a reflection of a famous parent than say, Bristol Palin?
The social commentary I see from the whole thing is that celebrity is an extremely over-valued commodity in our society. The untimely death several years ago of a KC Chiefs football player created an enormous media crush and outpouring of adulation because of his celebrity - which arose from his uncanny ability to sack the quarterback. The same thing occurred in a much grander scale in the Wake of Princess Diana's death. The public was absolutely ravenous in its consumption of the most intimate details surrounding her life and death.
That is why I have no use for DWTS. The primary criterion for participating is celebrity status. At least the rich boys on the football field are there because they beat out anyone else who wanted their position.
