Silly Pop Star is asking for prayers. He was in London during the bombings and wants everyone to pray for him.

He wasn't hurt or anything, just in London at the time. [Wall Bash]

Hmmm. . well, kinda hard to tell from that confusing article.

But basically it only says he is asking his fans to pray for a safe return home. I don't see a problem with that. When I take an extended trip, especially flying, I often ask my church friends to pray I have a safe and smooth trip. What's wrong with that?

FG. It appears he's asking for prayers for his safe trip home when there are people, injured or grieving, who are more in need of those prayers. He offers no condolences or grief for these people, just asks for a safe trip home.

In the age of replaceable celerities, the only way to stay famous, aside from exceptional talent, is to keep yourself in the public eye. That's what this kid's publicist is trying to do. Talking about how stupid it is also works for them. The only thing they're afraid of is indifference.

What is wrong with his publicist?

quote:
"He wasn't hurt or anything, but just the fact that he was there and all that."
Aside from getting his inflated ego looked at, he needs to fire his publicist for saying this. How could anyone in public relations utter these words and think they will be received sympathetically?

Unless the publicist is trying to ruin his career. The whole article seemed rather tongue in cheek.

"It appears he's asking for prayers for his safe trip home when there are people, injured or grieving, who are more in need of those prayers."

Is there really a prayer economy?

Well, clearly there is an upper limit to the amount of prayers in the world (namely, six billion people praying around the clock), so in that sense it's a scarce commodity.
