On Role Models

Honestly, I'm just sick and tired of people calling people like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears terrible role models.

To the parents who let their children see these people as role models: what are you thinking?

Who decided that all famous people had to be good role models? I mean, if you want to be a singer, you should admire Britney for her voice. If you want to be a partier/famous sex video star, then look to Paris Hilton.

It's a job. They sing, they entertain, and that's it. It's not under their job description to be posters of how to be a good person in life.

That's also what makes me angry. Parents out there suddenly don't think it's their job anymore to educate their children, that there are bad influences in life. So instead, they let tv and video games educate their children instead, and then complain that their kids aren't growing up the way they want.

No shit, Sherlock.

Frankly, I don't give a damn if Britney shaves her head or if Lindsay Lohan gets caught driving drunk again. And quit the complaining about shooting games or violence in movies. I grew up with Disney until I was in grade school, because my parents kept me away from this stuff until I was mature enough to grasp a semblance of what's right and wrong.


I quite enjoy the fact that all my rants come down to the same thing: that society is made up of incredibly stupid people. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in masses.
