sitting on the couch, another commercial flashes on VH1.
shooting sizemore.
come on. this shit is just getting ridiculous.
i will admit that i have been guilty of spectating the train wreck that is flavor of love. the show in which we watch rapper, flavor flav, try to find love. the amount of things wrong with this premise is unfathomable. this guy is in his mid-fifties, has like eight kids, and is an absolute mess. so of course, this makes him a viable romantic option for overweight strippers, gold diggers, and sluts.
then there was breaking bonaduce. this follows the life of former child star danny bonaduce. you get to follow along as his marriage falls to pieces because he is a drug addict, alcoholic, roid monkey that still wants to shock people. this gets so uncomfortable at times. the fact that someone would want to expose that much of their personal life is disturbing. and its not that it is just exposing it, its that they are marketting this man’s lunacy. even during times that he was borderline suicidal, the cameras keep rolling. its a glimpse into the total self destruction of a human being.
and now… shooting sizemore. this is another actor that has been working the downward spiral for quite some time. drugs, alcohol, assault (i think). its sad.
why does society really feel the need to pull back the curtain on people’s lives like this? these people may be “celebrities,” but does that give them the right to make money off of their problems like this? nobody in the VH1 heirarchy has an ethicalo problem with putting such things on display?! sad.
