    What drives the prurient, judgemental, obsession of the upper and middle classes with the lifestyle habits of others? Is it low self-esteem? Errectile dysfunction? Or a deeper, nastier urge?

    I would’t say Jeremy Kyles target demographic fitted the OP’s assertion.

    I think everyone is interested in other peoples lives.

    Surely not being interested in other people would be a sign of someone far weirder?

    We’re a society, everyone is interested in everyone else as we are all in it together but with different aims and targets. And much like with religion, everyone thinks their route is correct and so is scornful of others. Pretty simple.

    I thought this thread was going to be a discussion about a great film. Oh well.

    I’m interested in what makes folk tick but not their actual lives per se. I wouldn’t click a link that took me to, say, Tulisa’s Sex Scandal, for example.

    Some things interest me, some things don’t.

    Who do you think is buying all those celebrity loving hating magazines? Stephen Fry?

    I don’t know who’s buying them, no-one I know.

    “The life choices I have to make are different to other people.” Every single person in here can say that to some extent. We’re all different, thank goodness.

    Being interested in other peoples’ lives is surely a good thing, so long as it is to learn about those other people, not to then judge them based upon your own internal morals.

    Hey, I dyed my hair bright red the other day – I’m sure that there are people making judgements about that.
