But simply being famous makes one great ...

I mean look at Paris Hilton ... or Prof. Stephen J. Hawking.

Anytime I see something screech across a room
and latch onto someone's neck,
and the guy screams and tries to get it off,
I have to laugh,
because what is that thing?

Mysteria...
Well, I'm afraid that in today's world the noisiest are the most famous.  That's pretty easy to understand.  You can attract more flies with honey than with vinegar, but if you really want to see them roaring in, you only need to raise a big stink.

True in general, I'd say, but with plenty of exceptions.
