Top 5 Media Whores
 

I have been watching the news rather closely for the past month and I can't help but laugh at people who will practicaly would sell themselves to Satan himself for a few minutes of media attention. Here are a few of these 'Media Whores' I have been paying attention to here lately:

1. Cindy Sheehan
2. Joe Wilson (CIA Leak)
3. The entire Democratic Party
4. Hilary Clinton (She needed her own space)
5. Pamala Anderson

Agreed
 

I'd say that's a pretty acurate list. I really couldn't change more than one of the people, or more them more than one or two places up or down.

Yes, because all of them have unlimited access to media outlets, and their points of view aren't homogenised for public consumption, scrutinised by media pundits (who obviously wanna push forward these guys' point of view), and these guys control what goes into the media in regards to them.....

I'd call you a dumbass, but considering your post, I think it'd be redundant.

So, wait, the definition of media whore has been changed to "person in the media whose politics the poster doesn't agree with"?

Yay!

Consider the vast colletion of different opinions expressed on this board, we've now labeled...gosh...the entire fucking media and every politician as a media whore.

I'd agree with the list had he bumped Pamela Anderson and added Paris "My Gash Doubles As A Carry-On For My Doggy" Hilton.

My psycologist says I take things too far. HE LIES!!!!!!!

I think it is slang for vagina.

That is just my take on it, though.

thats what i assumed. man, the day i ehard about paris hilton was the day i broke my face on my bike. everyone was tlaking about how lucky she was and pretty and stuff and since then it was an explosion of Paris in the media. gaaah, really makes a person resent someone.

why is paris hilton even on t.v.? It's not like she does anything except her family's rich!

Plus she always does the same stupid pose. She isn't remotely pretty, plus she's cockeyed...which is the opposite of "the eye thing".

I'd still like to stab her crooked eye with my dick.

i never even noticed her crooked eye. i guess though other than the blips about her on television, the only time i ever saw her was in that sex tape on the internet.

and i'll hafta admit i think i watched a special on her once that made her out to be teh victim. i wasnt sober though, so i dont remeber more than that really. oh and how she had a huge party in japan for her "japanese friends" and how japan was confused and didnt even know who she was. i laughed. those types of parties happened a lot. everyone was like, why is she important? man. so silly.

She's as artifical as the Sweet N' Low that I put in my iced tea.

you should use equal or splenda. they taste better.



and i can't believe no one's mentioned michael jackson.

A fierce bomb explosion may have striked Michael's face so many times that it cannot be recovered to its original form, but musically, he does have talent. He can sing, dance and write songs. Although, Michael doesn't received much attention for his music and only for his childish life he is currently living, I have to say I'm actually intrigued with the media's portrayal of Michael Jackson. His current state is no longer admiring but more so laughable, which I think is good media mockery for entertainment value.

Yes, I'd agree that Paris Hilton is overexposed. I never have thought she was attractive (particularly after hearing her opine over and over again in a vapidly brainless fashion "That's Hot!") And I couldn't figure what anybody saw in her. But it was just another one of those things where I just shrug my shoulders and ignore it.

And frankly, I could care less if the Paris Hilton's and Pamela Anderson's (I'd DO her once for grins ... definitely .... no redeaming quality to that desire, it's just sport-f@c%ing) get a lot of face time on TV and in the press. As long as they are hawking their latest TV show or perfume or clothing line or book ... who cares.

But if they get on the air and use the access to champion a particular political view, then I have issues with it. For instance. if Carrottop gets 5 minutes of airtime on a newsprogram because he draws thousands of people to his shows every year, and then says to the reporter/interviewer "Yeah, I think Illegal Aliens are bad and should be shot," well, I have a problem with that. (I have no evidence that Carrottop has said any such thing ... it is just a made up example.)

These celebrities, athletes and artists who have an undue amount of access due to their talent and abilities should have to either demonstrate that they've done some homework and are reasonably educated about the position they are expousing, or they should shut up.

And I don't care if I agree with their views or not. For instance, I rarely agree with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, but when they speak publicly they are eloquent and well-informed. And they are discriminatory about when they speak ... I have seen them on talk shows where the host had to draw them out with probing questions about their beliefs. This is not because they were hesitant or afraid to speak their minds ... they were just being conscientious of not speaking of politics in what was supposed to be an entertainment vehicle. I admire them for that.

Someone's a republican :P

Damn right.

What happened to Sheehan was tragic, no one disputes that. But I've seen video of her speaking in public cursing at Bush before her son served. Her son didn't believe in her politics, but she is using his face wherever she goes is against his and the rest of the familie's wishes.

Not too long after she started she was giving her opinion on Isreal and Palestine, as if that had anything to do with her particular issue.

And the book! She wrote a book!
