How come no-one ever declares themself heterosexual accompanied with a fanfare of hugs and air kisses all round? It's only ever those who prefer backdoor deliveries who feel the need to publicly announce their sexual preferences.

No. The cult of celebrityism has been manufactured. It's one aspect of the bread and circuses we're subjected to.

A good example of how effective it is are the RIP threads that pop up here quite regularly. One was yesterday for Kirk Douglas.
