Ugh. What is the world coming to? Being famous - whether for 15 minutes or 15 seconds - is the ultimate currency.
People will do almost anything these days for their slice of celebrity - and with the Internet it's now possible for anyone to become famous.
Here are ten such people who are so desperate for their moment in the spotlight, but sadly devoid of any actual talent, that they were even prepared to eat a fresh tapeworm.

10. WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? IT'S STILL WRIGGLING AND EVERYTHING. HE'S CLEARLY NOT ENJOYING IT.
9. LOOK AT THIS SMUG ATTENTION-SEEKER WITH HIS "I'M FAMOUS AND YOU'RE NOT" GRIN. HE EVEN LANDED HIS OWN TV SHOW - 'GUY FIERI'S TAPEWORMS, INTESTINAL PARASITES and ECHINOCOCCOSIS'.
8. THAT THING HE'S EATING HAS BEEN INSIDE A PERSON, YET HE'S CHEWING ON IT LIKE IT'S A DELICIOUS MEAL. REVOLTING.
7. THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN PARENTS WHO PUSH THEIR KIDS INTO THE SPOTLIGHT (EXCEPT, PERHAPS, PARENTS WHO PUSH THEIR CHILDREN INTO A COMBINE HARVESTER). THIS LITTLE GIRL PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S EATING.
6. EATING TAPEWORMS FOR FAME ISN'T EVEN THAT NEW A PHENOMENON. IT'S BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS THERE HAVE BEEN CAMERAS. THIS SHAMELESS PIG IS TAPEY O'ARBUCKLE - WHOSE SILENT MOVIES CONSISTED ENTIRELY OF HIM EATING DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARASITIC FLATWORMS.
5. WE REMEMBER WHEN VH1 USED TO SCREEN MUSIC VIDEOS. NOW THEY JUST HAVE REALITY SHOWS IN WHICH PEOPLE EAT TAPEWORMS.
4. FEW PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT FORMER VAUDEVILLE STAR BUSTER KEATON GOT HIS BIG BREAK BY EATING A TAPEWORM IN THE PRE-TALKY HIT 'TAPEWORM GRANDSLAM!'.
3. IF THERE'S ONE THING MORE POPULAR ON THE INTERNET THAN CAT VIDEOS, IT'S VIDEOS OF CATS EATING TAPEWORMS. SO CRUEL.
2. THE TAPEWORM-EATING CRAZE CAN BE TRACED BACK TO JAPAN, WHERE THERE ARE EVEN ENTIRE TV STATIONS DEDICATED TO SHOWS IN WHICH PEOPLE EAT TAPEWORMS WHILE TAKING PART IN INCREASINGLY DEMEANING CHALLENGES.
1. IN JAPAN, PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY FAMOUS ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT HUGE SUMS OF MONEY TO BE FILMED EATING TAPEWORMS - BELIEVING THAT THE FOOTAGE WILL NEVER BE SEEN IN THE WEST. NOT ANYMORE, ARNOLD. SHAMELESS.
