Handcuffs are in this season

Just thought I would share a little thing that irks the hell out of me. Spoiled ignorant celebrities who are constantly on the news being arrested, flopping in and out of rehab, and generally engaging in shameful behavior. You know who I mean. Britney, Paris, Lindsay, Nicole, etc. I could write pages upon pages about how much I hate this ditsy characters, and it angers me even more that I could.

What infuriates me most, though, are these god awful celebrity news shows that fuel the fire of these drug-soaked aristo-brats by fixating on every little thing they do whether good or bad. I thought I could avoid this nonsense in Korea, but I still can't turn on the television without some "Entertainment Extra Celebrity Star Buzz Hour" shovelling gossip at me.

I saw one entertainment news show do a bit about Paris Hilton's release from prison, and all they could talk about was the outfit she wore while being escorted to a waiting car. They talked about her sense of style, identified the clothes, got details on their origin, and shared tips on how to recreate that summer look.

I'm sorry. Am I missing something? She just got out of prison! How is what she's wearing relevant to anything? And why, oh Jesus why, would we want to mimic that? Any day I'm expecting to see them to do whole shows on this crap:

"Today we're going to show you at home how to look your best this summer while doing time. Learn to strut your stuff in court and Mindy Sanders will be showing you five simple tips that will take your mugshot from boring to boo-yah! There's no reason you can't have a little glamour in the slammer; after the commercial break we'll give you the rundown on our big house fashion special that can help you rock the Rock and look Shawshank chic at the beach."

Also, I saw a recent report on how celebrities like Lindsay Lohan are now sporting SCRAM's (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor ) attached to their ankles. I guess that's fine. Celebrities are admitting they have problems and are taking steps to control their behavior. But it's not fine when, once again, these bloody shows act like they're wearing fashion accessories and it's becoming a new fad. Stop making these people out as trendsetters!!

I think it's fitting that when I came online to write this mini rant, msn news informed me that Lindsay Lohan had just been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and cocaine possession. All I want to know is, what was she wearing?

The role models of our obsessive hollywood culture are nothing more than trailer park trash. And the little teeny boppers eat it all up. Jail, drugs, drinking and driving, eating disorders, pregnancy...the wrong side of the tracks is what's right and cool now! Didn't trailer park trash used to get beat up by the snotty, rich, cool kids?
Wait, was this funny?
