Wouldn't it be nice if more people became famous for actually doing something important? Like, I don't know, curing diseases or helping people and/or animals? I mean, it's cool to do something entertaining on the internet, but it seems like people get book deals and movie deals from just about anything these days.
That was quite the mess Fry started. I think, if you are a celebrity, the best thing is to ignore all criticism (unless it becomes a serious enough issue). Because there are always going to be people who say "So-and-so sucks" and no one should take that personally. Also, I don't like that this article is trying to associate his flouncy comment with his being bipolar, like people who are depressed and/or bipolar are automatically flouncy-flounce. But it's really cool that he apologized.
