Star Struck Idiots

Star struck idiots might be the most noticeable kind of idiot. They usually have wide eyes, an open mouth, and maybe even a little drool coming out. Most of all, they seem to worship the people they idolize. Most of them have no concept that these are real people. That's okay, though. Others make up for that. They know every single little fact about the person in question. Where they were born, what their favorite color is, their preferences in dating.

Star stuck idiots can be scary, especially if they reach stalker level. They can be dangerous or just plain stupid, but they fall into one of two categories: the shocked or the fanatic.

My best friend is a fanatic. She has posters of John Mayer all over her bedroom. She has every single album that he's ever made (and singles that aren't on albums). She cried when she found out about his throat surgery. I don't know what she would ever do if she met him. She would either be shocked speechless, do something illegal, or begin talking his ear off.

Shocked idiots are easy to pick out. It only ever happens when a celebrity is near. When it comes down to it, though, they have merely elevated someone to a status beyond human - put them on an unreachable pedestal even though they don't really know them. In reality, such hero worship is what makes them real idiots.
