But don’t you think even the dimmest sense the hollowness at the core of what passes muster for celebrity these days? I suspect even the pigeons are starting to notice that the pleasure pellets are starting to taste a lot like woodchips…

Most people are like B.F. Skinner’s pigeon hitting the button to get the reward. The pigeon thinks the world is the inside of the box, and the two most important things in the world are the button and the food pellet. The size of their ‘bank account’ of attention is defined by the rewards they seek.

I fear you’re being hopelessly optimistic. Our respected Mr. Land (whether he likes it or not) will be rolled out as pantomime villain more than ‘authentic celebrity’ (and, besides, my guess is he’d hate the latter even more).
