"Selena Gomez is ahuge role moddle for me and i made this level for her."

This level kind of gives me the creeps.



There are around 12 gold-framed photos of Selena Gomez's face.



And some of them have been enlarged so much by the creator that you can't even see them properly on the screen. What's unnerving about them (to me, anyway) is her lips and teeth.







When driving past these photos in succession, I kind of feel like I'm seeing the exact same smile over and over. Her face changes but the mouth stays locked in the exact same position. Looking at these photos after playing shows that this is technically not the case but still, it's the experience I had in this level.

Anyway, then you pass a pile of hamburgers.



I find this really weird too.

This level is all about a young teen and her obsession with her celebrity role model; the type of role model who classically causes body/self-esteem issues in young, vulnerable teen girls.

Going by the contents of this level (the obsession with Gomez's attractive face) I'm assuming that it isn't too much of a stretch to say that this level's creator here puts value in good looks.

Anyway, hamburgers (especially when placed next to the image of fries) are a classic symbol of obesity. So in this level I see a baffling clash of values. The hamburgers are not presented in any kind of negative light from what I can tell. If anything, it's positive - as I drive passed the hamburgers it feels like the creator is celebrating them.

So what can I make of this? What is the meaning behind the hamburgers?

Is Gomez REALLY a meaningful role model for the creator? If the creator loves junk food so much, it would imply that maybe she's not as 'brainwashed' by body-pressure as this level might suggest. That is, of course, unless Gomez actually encourage things such as eating junk food.

Is there maybe some sort of hamburger related in-joke among the Gomez community/fanbase?

I've done a little bit of research and it turns out that Gomez has been known to speak out against junk food. She actually fell ill to it a while ago. That said, some of her tours were sponsored by Burger King.

It turns out that, annoyingly enough, Gomez says she "knows" eating junk food is bad but she sometimes does it anyway. She admits this in a kind of humorous, "chatty" tone to the media. Her public stance on junk food is seemingly both negative and positive at the same time.

So it doesn't help pinpoint exactly why the creator of this level has put in hamburgers.

Maybe the creator doesn't know either. It actually does feel like something that was just thrown into the level and not really thought about - an idea that arose from some kind of word-association related brain process.

Maybe the creator is just confused about the hamburgers and simply doesn't know what to do with them, like Gomez and I.
