i agree Carrie. fuck them all.
I personally dont think people should be using the fact that they play a great neurotic, schizophrenic, homesexual, interior designer neighbor on some Gen-X 30's something sitcom to make political statements... or exploit the fact that they have some shitty "heard it before", Brittney Spears copy of a song that we are trying desperately to purge from our heads like a big, throbing, fucking blood clot - to make a credible statement about world politics.
i dont oppose peoples support or opposition or voicing of opinions. i am however, almost always disgusted by Hollywood elites and stars denouncing something like an attack on Iraq for a wide array of moral reasons - namely the suffering and damage that war can cause... all while not acknowledging the EXISTING humanitarian disaster, death, disease, suffering, torture and genocidal actions of Saddam and his regime that has continued for more than 30 years.
its the burden of blind compassion i guess. simple reaction vs. response.
Celebs speaking out as they have been, is the worst form of opportunistic, parasitic and shameless behavior in my opinion. It's done as if playing a convincing herion addicted prostitute makes an actresses political statements more relevent than the average Joe. It now comes at the expense of millions who have already suffered and died... and those who will continue to suffer and die as the result of innaction. They offer no solutions. Just opposition at a time that is conveinent to their carreers. if someone was proposing a solution while expressing opposition, i would be more understanding and supportive.
