Can I friend you on Facebook? Can I follow your tweets? I know you're the kind of person that I wish I could meet. They keep blogging about you but I know it's not true. And when I am rich and famous I will be just like you.
You're so cool - everybody here wants to be like you. Everyone I know wants to be like you.
I don't know why you're famous but it don't bother me - see, I'm never one to question what they put on TV. I'll put in the time patiently standing in line because I know it'd be worth it just to see what you're like.
And in no time at all look what the media brings! Now we only pay attention to the next coolest thing. You can return to a life that was whatever before, but whatever we took from you we don't want no more.
(don't you worry 'bout the marketing - we just moved on to the next big thing)
