Sometimes it doesn't matter what people believe

[glatt]

I consume entertainment to be entertained. If the entertainer is a total ass in real life, that's usually going to turn me off consuming their stuff.

But the line is a difficult one to define. For me, Mel Gibson is on the wrong side of it. Tom Cruise isn't.

Vick is on the wrong side of the line, but his product is not personal like an actor's, so I'll watch him play. You can't even see his face, really.

The second time I read your post, this jumped out at me as really chuckle worthy.

Celebrity Sci entol ogists have no idea of the twisted reality of the inner workings of their "religion". These celebrities are pampered, catered to, and given perks like Misc cavi ge enjoys. They are clueless as to how families are torn apart or people are thrown out the door (thereby losing their salvation) when their funds are sucked dry, or how guilt and threats are used to control.

I see too much in the way of glazed over eyes, hyperactivity, lies, manipulation and broken promises from these people on a daily basis. The bottom tiers, the grunts, the "public", the staff and the incredibly neglected children of the above...they are my neighbors, my children's friends, my landlords, my grocers, the steady stream of zombies marching up and down the sidewalks near my home.

They don't know any better (aren't allowed to know any better). I speak to them when I can...you DO have the right to question, and you DO have the right to have doubts and you DO have the right to make your own choices.

And I go to their businesses, rent houses from them, watch their movies, listen to their music and invite them into my home. They're all victims of an enormous, ugly con

Mel Gibson is an abusive asshole. I will never be able to enjoy anything he is in again.
