the greedy only get greedier

When you are a fan of a particular group or person you adore they're every movement and word. They add a little bit more excitement and emotion into your life. And depending on how obsessed you are, they become your life and those are the creepy ones. Ashamed to admit I have lowered myself to that standard in being a fan-girl, I apologize. I totally love The Wanted. But what I'd like to talk about is how celebrities only get money hungry throughout the duration of their short careers. Here's an example; its safe to say concert tickets are expensive and depending on who you plan to see can be a million times more expensive. And not to mention exclusive packages and VIP passes.
And so this leads me to The Wanted announcing Wanted World which, to put it in the simplest term is basically of my knowledge paying 160 for a fan club website with exclusives of the band. It is not a enough that fans have to pay +80 dollars to get good seats to their concert and follow their every move by ordering the newsletter and buying their merchandise which includes dolls of them and just spending countless hours fantasizing about them but we now have to pay for a website. Safe to assume they make a shitton of money and with this 'exclusive website' costing 160 of which none of the money goes to charity but to the greedy management and the boys. Totally disappointed in the boys. They fail to realize we're currently under a recession and not everyone of their fans work because being realistic your fans are under 18 and still in school. Money doesn't just come shooting out of our asses to give you because that's what you think loyal fans do.
Band member Nathan tweeted '
Look guys its like a t-shirt, you want it you get it. You don't want it, you don't get it haha but we hope the ones who do enjoy it'. So in translating this ridiculous tweet in the simplest term is basically Nathan saying '
guys, you rich kids can afford it come get it. The poor kids cant afford it, sorry. Rich kids for the win' And so with that I've lost a lot of respect for The Wanted even with the fact that I payed 90 bucks to see them live last night.
