Entertainment figures have an impact on people, particularly young people. It is naive to suggest otherwise. If you grow up in a culture that glorifies NASCAR, for example, as a teenager you are probably going to be motivated to spend your money on a used car that drives too fast. If you grow up in a culture that glorifies gang banging, you're probably going to spend that money on a Glock with a switch.
I think your environment can influence you, but ultimately people grow up to be who they are.
I had a stepfather who didn't give two shits about sports. Still doesn't. My biological father doesn't give two shits about sports. Yet sports are all I watch. I rarely watch television outside of a live sport. I grew up in a DEEP red portion of our state. I couldn't care less if I ever touch a gun. I don't hunt and I'm not a pub.
