and this week Britney is the winner. Ah, now Amy Winehouse has to try harder (or is it less hard?). Wouldn't it be wonderful if we found the health and sanity of these people as entertaining as their spiral into hell and surely a possible early death? As Mike Gravel stated "Americans are getting fatter and dumber" and with that in mind it makes sense that Miss Spears is the poster child for this mess we are in(although I would never call that bod of hers 'fat'...sheeeeesh. All the men I know keep telling me they think she looks sexy this way....not sure if her method of achieving it is too healthy however) All I know is that if this were my daughter I would have made damned sure she got the help she so desperately needed a long time ago and I would have never let this kind of circus go on at her expense. Is there really a big pay off for this kind of absurdity? If we ignore this kind of behavior instead of rewarding it with attention perhaps we can start to set the bar a little higher for ourselves and our youth.
