I'm Having a Real Problem with Hollywood
Advertisements [?]
I was looking through the front page news section today and came across an article trying to explain why anorexia was acceptable in today's world. On it were a handful of celebrities that primarily pre-teen and teenage girls look up to in today's culture. Most of them look like nothing but skeletons with a thin layer of latex on them.

This is a pitiful scheme by Hollywood, and will probaly be nothing but a new recruiting tool. I know things in the fashion and celebrity business have cycles, and that they all end, but things like this are hurting our youth, in my opinion. The media and Hollywood have taken it upon themselves to try and cover up the truth behind Anorexia or Bullemia and try to make it seem like the healthy way to go when it comes to weight loss. They are just preying in on this nation's obesity issue.

I don't care what goes on in crazy town, but when the effect of my wife or daughter wanting to be like say..Nicole Richie, I begin to want to take a stand because their idiocy has leaked into my livingroom and I will not stand for it.
