Everyone Gets Old

I don't get it. For some reason, pictures of celebrities who have done the unspeakable and gotten old are all the rage on the Internet, usually accompanied by nasty headlines like, "You'll Never Believe How Such and Such Looks Today!" or, "These Shocking Photos of Such and Such Will Make Your Jaw Drop!"

On the other hand, when Such and Such has plastic surgery to avoid looking her rightful age, the headlines scream about the hideous damage the former beauty inflicted upon herself.

Doesn't everyone, even stupid writers at Internet websites, know that we all will get old and then die? That nobody can escape this fate? That aging is as natural as breathing? What's the big deal?
