Why do people care so much?

Over the course of this year, through both school and everyday living, I have come to realize that saying what you want doesn't really happen anymore. Everything needs to be politically correct. A prime example is the guidelines set by the school on dressing up for Halloween. One of the rules in which I found ridiculous states; students with sombreros and fake mustaches, dressing in sombreros, and guys dressing in mini-skirts is not allowed. Why can't kids dress in sombreros and fake mustaches? Its really only offensive if you make it, if you look at a main figure in the Disney World world, Donald Duck dresses like that. As he plays his role in The Three Caballeros. Also if girls can dress up like guys, why cant it be vice-verse? Girls dress up as "bros" or wear mens' clothing all the time. Also no dressing as Osama Bin Laden was a rule, and I think that is just obscure, he is a public figure and if someone wants to dress like him, then they should be allowed. In the past people have come to school dressed like President Bush, with big donkey ears, or something defacing their president. Another thing is if you like at the elementary, kids are dressed up in whatever they want and no one takes offense to it. But once you hit high school everything needs to be politically correct, so that no one gets offended.

Another thing I don't understand, is why people care so much about celebrities. Honestly everything they do, even if its horrible, makes them more famous. For example look at the Jersey Shore idiots. They are getting paid to act like complete morons on camera, and the more dumb they look the more fans they seem to pull in. I'm not saying that all celebrities are looking for attention but thanks to the news they get more than they should. These news shows need to stop caring so much and stop dissecting every part of these celebrities lives. they are still human, just because they act like morons absolutely does not mean that they should be supported. The reason this came to mind is because the other day I sat eating lunch at Egg Harbor Cafe listening to my mom and grandma bitch about how Kim Kardashian was only married for  70 something days and how much her wedding cost and blah blah blah. I stopped listening at one point because I was like really, why are you caring so much about someone you don't even know. Congrats she looks like an idiot for getting married and divorced so quickly, but that is her decision, WHO CARES!?!?
