Today Whitney Houston died and of course a lot of people are sad and upset. One thing that happens immediately after are negative comments and remarks. This doesn’t apply to just Houston. I honestly can’t think of a celebrity death where I haven’t read or heard something bad. One of the most common statements I hear is “I guess I’m going to have to pretend to like him/her”………… Why? Quite a few questions jump to the front of my mind, trying to comprehend that statement.

Why would you pretend to like a celebrity if you had no interest in them? Is it because you don’t want to deal with that individuals’ fans/stans jumping all over you?(figuratively of course) If Beiber died I wouldn’t go around pretending I enjoyed his music. Yes, it’s sad when someone dies, but I don’t see why there’s a need to be deceiving. I don’t know, something about that just seems really tacky and the  person(s) saying it sound fake as hell.
