It’s a given that celebrities are superior to regular people in virtually every respect. They provide a necessary distraction from the workaday drudgery of life, and what do they receive for their troubles, besides generous salaries and the adulation of millions?

There was no keeping the real-life Dwight Schrute away from this thing either.
