Dancing with the "Stars"

I got to thinking the other day about Dancing with the Stars. Who decided that these people that are involved in this show are stars? I mean really, when did Kate Gosselin become a star? She has a reality show that takes away the innocence of her children, a reality show that likely became the reason for her split with John (who is a mega-douche I might add).

Another "star" who has appeared on the show is Steve-O, from Jackass fame.  Steve-O?  Really?  This guy who became famous for stapling his ballsack to the side of his legs.  I know who Steve-O is yes, but did my parents, who actually watch the show know who he is?  When my mom asks who he is, I have to say that he was an ex dealer who did stupid stuff, tattooed a picture of himself on his back and then cleaned up.  Sorry they asked.

In fact, the only person that I think that should be considered a "star" that has ever been on that show is Steve Wozniak.  This man is the other Steve that formed apple computers.  He is one of the reasons that computers in general are what they are today.  He is down to Earth and super cool and nerds everywhere love him.  Most people know, or should know who he is.

I'm just saying, a show titled "Dancing with the Stars" should at lest include some star in the roster, not B-grade actors, Olymipians, and second grade singers.  I think that the show is misleading.  "Dancing with people you may have heard" of seems a more appropriate title.  Until I hear of names like Johnny Depp of Kathy Bates on the show, I just can't take is seriously.  Oh, and I also think that professional dancers should not be allowed to participate, because they already have an edge on the other competition, and in the end usually win.
