"Artiste"???????

Today I left a spiteful comment on TVBCOM, the twitter account for TVB.com, the Hong Kong own-it-all, know-it-all media TV channel that calls all the shots in the Hong Kong entertainment showbiz.

As immature as this sounds, it just pisses me off how some of the second-class candy-pop actresses call themselves "artists". Better yet, they call themselves "artiste". That's not even a word.

Don't get me wrong. I am totally for people who want to pursuit their dreams and if people want to get into show biz (even though they clearly lack talent), that's cool. At least you gotta give them kudos for being persistent. But when clearly, you dropped out of school and got into the biz because you think it'd get you a rich husband and allow yourself to name your profession as being an "artiste"...think again.

I like ATV (namely the loser TV channel of Hong Kong). They had some good shows once in a while, and these people are still hanging in, making every effort to stay afloat. Come on, people. ARTISTE? Are you joking me??
