And I asked you to explain what you mean by “hated”? Followed around? Reported on? She asks for it! It’s how she makes money. She is fundamentally a creature of and about publicity; that’s all she does, it’s all she is, publicly speaking.
Of course she does. As someone else already asked, when’s the last time you heard about Natalie Portman flashing her twat or driving drunk or getting into cat fights with other starlets?
I’m not going to waste my time educating you on something as worthless as the history of Paris Hilton. Suffice it to say she has successfully made herself famous for being famous. Again, if you make a career out of figuratively shreiking LOOK AT ME! then IMO you don’t get to complain about people paying attention to you.
Who said she was evil?
What non-event was that? A celebrity going to jail is not an event? Who decides that – You? Don’t you think you should know who the hell she is before making that ruling for the rest of us?
That’s it? A mocking tone is IYO sadism? Suffice it to say my mileage varies.
Actually, that’s bullshit. She was sentenced for violating probation.
What do YOU care? Having set yourself up as the arbiter of what constitutes a news event, are you now going to set yourself up as an arbiter of what is entertaining or informative? Who died and made you the entertainment news God? And you didn’t answer my question.
This is a tautological non-answer: It is humiliating because it is degrading, fodder for “sickos.” But if I do not acknowledge your determination that it it is degrading, it follows that neither do I find it inherently humiliating. And you devalue the term “sicko” by using it in such a frivolous context, just as Hitchens minimalizes kiddie porn and child abuse by his completely ridiculous analogies.
Now you’re just nitpicking. If you didn’t understand the use of the term “professionalism” in this context, how about 'maturity" and “grace”? No response there either?
IYO, you mean. And why is nobody asking anything of HER? Where is the expectation that she suck it up and deal with the hard knocks, much less the expectation that, in a larger sense, she make something of herself and her gifts other than a spectacle?
I don’t give a rat’s ass if you consider it a cop-out or not, though FTR I never said anything about morality. I don’t answer questons like “but what’s wrong with fucking a goat?” or “why shouldn’t have my pussy on public display?” This board taught me long ago that a person whose worldview leads them to ask such questions, genuinely or not, is not in the same book that I am, much less on the same page, and it is not worth my time, cheap though it is, to try to find common ground because there isn’t any.
No. Would you care to answer the question in a way that is factual and not tautological?
Yeah, blah blah. This is all your O. I obviously don’t share it, so you can doubt whatever you want.
I never said worthless behavior required an excuse; I said it was worthless. What behavior? This behavior: " The CAUSE is every twat-flashing picture, every spat with another starlet over boyfriends, every TV show or commercial where she’s allowed herself to be portrayed as a useless empty-headed socialite, every porny video, every bullshit envelope-opening she attended to utter “That’s hott”, every telepone call to the media asking that the media leave her alone. For years her behavior has screamed LOOK AT ME! while she has done absolutely nothing of value with her assets, both financial and in terms of notoriety." Or do I repeat myself?
Only if by “irrelevant” you mean “completely relevant.” People are looking at her now because she has made a career for years of making people look at her. If that were not the case – if she had a history of living life as a private person, or at least trying to – people probably would be more inclined to grant her more privacy now.
Well, it’s certainly not completely decent to leer. Not our collective shining moment, I concede, though I can’t work up much shame about it. But also, manifestly, nothing like kiddie porn or child abuse. But you are absolutely correct: She certainly isn’t Hitler. You got me there.
