Celebrities need to be held accountable for their actions. Seriously. They are in the public eye, and should be held socially responsible. Kids look to them as role models, and if they are able to get away with such atrocities as drunk driving, underage drinking, and habitual drug abuse, they need to get in trouble because of it like everyone else. It's rather disgusting.
What amazes me most is that people seem to get joy out of hearing about these celebs breaking the law and getting away with it.
Why do I worry about it and take the time to write this blog today? It bothers me. It angers me. It disturbs me. It's just not right! Ordinary citizens are the people who pay to go see their films, buy their CDs and stay in their family's hotels. Ordinary people are also the ones who go to prison because they follow the activities of their "role models." I worry because I have siblings, relatives, etc who look up to these people, and though that is a problem in and of itself, it is a reality. People imitate what they see, and when violence, sex addiction, and substance abuse are on display and become an ordinary part of our lives, of course people are going to try to imitate as often as possible!
Anybody else irked by this?
