OC Board of Supervisors doing when it should have be looking
where our "Identity Theft Sensitive" (from traffic tickets)
was winding up? If it was Bangalore.....the chances may have
been less...that they could sell the info out the back door.
Hey, it's a world economy...every Russian Mobster knows your
Social Security number and mother's maiden name. As Tony
Soprano might say: "Wha'daya goin do?"
Ok....this isn't about that issue however...it's about the
great demise of the younger generation. We just went to the
beach movie at the Balboa Pier last night and saw a movie
with Surf Legend Kelly Slater....along with two shorts, one
on skateboarding and one one the hot new surfers that Quicksilver
has on it's payroll. The event included Sponsorship by Citi Bank,
Quicksilver and the Balboa Performing Arts Foundation. They had
the typical promotions with some good mini-burgers and tri-tip
beef sandwiches. Plenty of local families and kids. They had
a drawing for a variety of skateboards, backpacks and even a
surfboard. The people were a real cross section of our community
and that part was fun. What wasn't so fun...was the Mach 10 volume
on the speaker system....which had to cause brain damage for kids
under five. What wasn't so fun...were the self promoting types
of new surfers on the radar. The obvious drug references. The self
promoting, self absorbed and self described.......all not very
attractive to those of us that grew up in a sport that was bigger
than any individual player.
Why the long warm up...on why Lindsay Lohan needs to be let go Free?
Well, sadly Lindsay is not alone. Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Britney
Spears and Christina Aguilera....all seem to be suffering from
similar maladies. Michael Vick, Barry Bonds, NBA Referee Tim Donaghy
and the entire Tour de France bicycle competition......all seem to
be victims of poor judgement, inappropriate behavior or simply a lot
of bad luck. Let's forget the Kobe Bryant problem in Colorado, thank
goodness that one has dried up. Could we talk about the photos of
Princess Diana...as she died in the tunnel in Paris? Are we off the
subject? No, we are talking about money, celebrity, money and more
money. We are talking about bad conduct by a complete generation of
those who seem to know "NO Propriety!"
So, what can be done? Rehab housing required for every potential
celebrity on earth? Legalized drugs for every rich celebrity on earth?
Drivers License revocation for every celebrity on earth? New rules
for any celebrity: A driver and a limo is required!
Let's look at Lindsay's problem in a little more detail. Her dad just
got out of jail, her mom wants season tickets to the Playboy Mansion
and Lindsay just got out of a ten day rehab stint. Immediately, she
gets drunk on her butt, fires or abuses an assistant, chases the
assistants mom in her SUV..and gets immediately busted by the LAPD.
Was this a set up? Kind of reminds you of the Sonny Corelone scene
at the Toll Booth in Godfather I.
Who is to know? Should we just incarcerate every celebrity just
because they are celebrities and are seen in personality magazines?
What could be next? Politicians, Candidates for Office, or major
CEO's...next? Paparazzi seem to be the only ones making any money
in publishing in this day and age. They constantly drive their
efforts with scandal, intimidation and innuendo! If it doesn't
care a stir....no money! We feel sorry for Lindsay...because she
is probably "chemically dependent", "psychologically dependent" and
under a lot of pressure....to constantly perform. Lindsay is 21
years of age. She probably doesn't even surf. Let's give Lindsay
a pass "this time". Take her drivers license for next three years
and call it a day! Free Lindsay...she is too cute!
