Media and Celebs

I am watching Nancy Grace right now(Idk why...she pisses me off), but the program is talking about how Britney Spears not wearing underpants with a mini skirt means that she is not deserving of being a mother. How the hell does wearing underwear make a person a better parent? Then they talk about how she isn't at home with her kids like a responsible parent. Well doesn't a mom have the right to go out and leave her kids with babysitters? I know my mom has done that, and she is not a bad parent.

This is my thought, celebs are in the spot light all the time, and because they are they are easy prey. So anytime they do something against the norm it becomes feeding time for the media. Why is it that they do this? Don't they have anything better to do than sit out side a house and take sneaky pictures, or bash people's parenting skills on nation tv? Me thinks the media needs to grow up and focus on more important matters.

I agree. Generally speaking when one of these stories pops up I change the channel. What P. Diddy had for dinner last night is of ABSOLUTELY no importance to me, nor will my not knowing that have any detrimental effects.

Who? I have a vague sense of reading about someone named something similar getting some woman to kill herself, but I've no idea who it is.

So you are saying we need to invade P. Diddy?

Because with the evidence that he is seek uranium to consume, and he has a link with africa, well thats enough evidence for me.

She is this bitch that hosts a tv-court show. She used to be a prosecutor or judge or something. She think she is hot shit, but she is a big bitch.

Stop watching her then. You're making her a celebrity. The reason the media reports on celebrities is that people like you watch them.

first of all, stop watching nancy grace. that bitch gets too much attention as it is.

any mother who goes out night after night drinking, drugging, having sex with various "boyfriends" leaving her 2 children under 2 years of age with a nanny needs to shape up.

panties is not a requirement for proper motherhood but one might wonder why the need to flash strangers. no one is expected to be a prisoner in her own home taking care of babies 24/7 for 19 years but babies shouldnt be raised by nannies.

those children have 2 parents and if the father is more stable than the mother, then the father should have physical custody of the children. if britney is now in rehab (did she leave again yet?) then the kids should be with keven; he is their father. if she cant stay in rehab, he needs to have them full time unless it can be shown that he is less able than she is to take care of them. being a talentless asshole is not a disqualifier for child custody.

The media is evil and greedy and wants to turn us all into zombies so they can milk as much $$$ out of us as they possibly can. I say the media should be put under the control of CSmonitor. That way they'll state unbiased facts rather than try to gain profit at the expense of others.

I'm against censoring the media, but how about somebody tell the media to give us the information we actually want? That's what the media is for, after all...

The sad thing is, that's exactly what the media's doing when it rams yet another case like Lynndie England or K-Fed or Britney or Scott Peterson down the collective American gullet. The media gets good ratings from sensationalism, sex, violence, and voyerism because people like watching it, and people like watching it because the media makes it seem like everyone's doing it. It's a damn viscious circle of pack mentality and consumerism driven by the collective american obsessions with money and scopophilia.

No, because there's no alterior motive except gaining money. It's not like we're all being programmed. We started this whole chain by rewarding the channels that had the most sex and violence way back in the 50s and 60s. Corporations learn fast, so it spiraled out of control into what it is today. Its everyone's fault....not all corporations are TEH EBUL!!! Remember, a corporation's just a bunch of people.

Well people should start trying to fix this mess. Once corporations stop getting rewarded for this stuff they'll stop. Once people stop giving shows with sex, violence ect. high ratings more intelligent shows come on. We got ourselves into this lets get ourselves out.

They play what sells. take a moment out of your day to go to the grocery store and slap everyone who tries to buy a celebrity rag. I've too long had to suffer through inane conversations and smug puns like "tomkat" *shudder*. This culture actually annoys me so much I am sometimes glad when I don't recognize a famous name.

anyway, I don't think Brittney is such a great parent, since she drives around with the baby on her lap, and one of them ended up with a broken skull, and she drinks and goes out to party and is obviously in a tailspin marked by flashing her ugly parts all over the place, shaving her head, and popping in and out of rehab like a true addict while taking breaks to attack people with rain gear..........
