Lohan, environmental disaster, and the news
The news moniker, “If it bleeds, it leads” again rears its ugly head


BEVERLY  HILLS, CA—Last week a California judge handed a 90 days jail sentence down to disaster-in-waiting, sometimes actress, Lindsay Lohan for violation of probation. Another imploding Hollywood star, another side-item in the news media—so one would think—because of her fingernail paint, Ms. Lohan managed to push the Gulf Oil spill, Afghanistan, and Obama’s socialist recess appointee off the lead.

Lohan is the epitome of what has gone awry in American pop culture, celebrities at one time were decent persons and their station was reflective of admiration. Today, Hollywood takes a couple with a precarious marriage and eight children, shoves them in a house, scripts the entire fiasco and then calls it “reality television”.

The sad truth is reality has barreled its way into the life of a boorish attention starved media whore, who does not possess the talent to entertain the public any other way but by schadenfreude.
