This event is a community event for the youth. Don’t get hung up on the word “celebrity” — look at the positive. Instead of complaining come out and support the event, buy a raffle ticket. The proceeds will be going to the Sunshine League — a worthy cause.

Are we to assume that the only politicians invited to play are Government ministers? If so, can we be put politics aside for this worthy event? Damn!!!

These people are “celebrities” by the mere fact that they are in the public all the time as politicians. I do not think any politician should take themselves too seriously and it is good that they step up and do some of this stuff to show the people that they are accessible and that they are also human beings.

However, ‘shouldn’t be celebrities’? OK- if you’re talking about it in the terms of being in the same league as Hollywood names, then I understand, but really the definition of a celebrity is just a famous person, size of locale isn’t specified. Locally, our politicians are ‘famous’ in that they are recognizable public figures, so in that sense, they actually do qualify as ‘celebrities’. Definitely not ‘A’ or ‘B’ listers by worldwide standards, but like it or not, they conform to the strict definition of the word.

Now, if only all of them would act more like public figures and statesmen as opposed to the modern context of equating ‘celebrity’ with being a diva…

Kudos therefore to Bernews for putting the word in quotes- I think that accurately says it all!

Though I must say they do run a very intresting soap operas.

- Guiding Light : Premier Cox & BPSU
- Young & Restless : BDA to OBA
- General Hospital: Desilva & Jackson
- All My Children: Jennifer Smith & Education
- As the World Turns: Government and the Global Recession excuses
- One Life to Live: Perinchief & Gangs

Oh, athletes aren’t celebrities either…they are just athletes.
