At What Point Can We Consider Social Darwinism Reversed?
Here's Jessica Sierra, performing the king of all lame metaphor songs "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on American Idol in 2005:
Now here she is three days ago, right after getting arrested for fighting with three cops outside a club in Tampa:
Besides her radical, Madonna-esque reinvention as a meth-chic diva, how has Sierra helped nurture her stellar career in the music industry? Well, there was the obligatory sex tape, complete with yet another photo (right) that Im sure has a special place on the Sierra familys mantle.
Alright kids, who wants to watch that have sex?! See, when I watch it, its research for an article. When you people do it, its sick.
But the thing that elevates Jessica far above your average, ordinary self-destructing non-celebrity is contained in the last sentence of the AP article covering her most recent arrest:
She entered a California rehab facility in July that was to be documented on VH1's reality show "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" next year.
The woman, or rather the Producer maliciously filming her unstoppable downward spiral to fill a couple hours in VH1s programming schedule, is a marketing genius. After all, the only thing we like better than watching another human being elevated above the common throng and singled out by Paula Abdul for their extraordinary talent is watching someone ground so thoroughly under Gods boot heel (God has a Western thing) that this happens to them:
In related news, look for these exciting reality shows on VH1 next season!
I was actually expecting the link to Rick Roll me, i was sadly disappointed.
ReplyThat about as real as it gets there dude.
ReplyIs she real? Or is she badly pixelated?
ReplyA Garth Brooks song was playing , I think.
ReplyI met her once ,in a trailer park.
ReplyI almost made the sex tape link a Rickroll, but I thought it'd be uncool to use it in the main section of an article.
ReplyYou promised me a sex tape Swaim! Years of internet porn watching have left me impotent to all but the realest of hoes. She is as real as it gets.
ReplyYears of watching internet pornography featuring attractive women have left me impotent to anything but the "realest" of hoes. You promised me a sex tape Swaim! A sex tape with the realest of ho-hoes!
Reply1.) Those pictures almost made me vomit....
Reply2.) Why do we keeping giving millions of dollars to idiots just because they have some talent to sing, act, or play sports? They aren't really giving anything back to society we couldn't live without, and too many of them throw it away to do stupid shit they wouldn't need a million dollars to do in the first place. Sierra as noted above, Vick, Vick's brother, Lohan, and Spears to name a few. Why do we keep giving these people money?
Can't we tax these people heavily to give more money to the people in society that really matter? For example, police, firefighters, EMTs, and teachers? It's almost criminal how little they get paid when you weight the benefit they provide against those with professions that are only for entertainment.
"Who wants to watch that have sex?!"
ReplyI don't know, but I definitely clicked that "obligatory sex tape" link under the assumption that it was going to take me to the actual video.
