One of the things that really bothers me about our media - about the morals of today's society is that they make it possible for losers to profit from the sadness and mistakes of others. Remember Hugh Grant when he met up with the prostitute, Divine Brown - she made some good money making TV appearances and interviews... You can't forget good ole Kato Kaelin, OJ Simpson's friendly housemate... I can go on with many more names and I am sure you can too.... The list seems endless and that is so very sad to me...
There are many leeches out there ready to grab on for a quick ride at the expense of others... It is so gross. Trying to raise my kids to have the values of human decency is sometimes hard when they see the media glorifying these pond scum suckers... Human decency has become lost in the quest to make more money.... Destroy more lives... Sex and humiliation sell. Think of all the realty shows that go out of their way to set people up.. to tear them down...
So when I found out that Levi Johnston is going to pose nude for Playgirl - it just made my skin crawl..(Now I know why he keeps getting his picture taken with his shirt off - geez) Here is a guy - that was the boyfriend of Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol. Levi fathered Bristol's son Tripp. Instead of man-ing up and marrying Bristol and trying to provide a home and family for the son they created - he decided to air his perceived dirty laundry in the public forum... We have all heard his side..... What is sad is the very people that were against Sarah Palin for Vice President are welcoming poor misunderstood Levi into their home... into their parties.. into their studios.. Look at Kathy Griffin a major "I hate Sarah Palin" celebrity - She and Levi have become fast friends..... I wonder why? He's 19.... and she is just yucky...
Being a parent today is tough.. Teaching values that go against the media and other outlets is very hard... We have to say it's not okay to have kids before marriage.. We have to say it's not okay to drink and do drugs.... We have to say it's not okay to rip someone apart to see them crumble to the ground... It's not okay to hurt others simply because you can.... We need to teach respect for their elders... We need to teach marriage and then children.... We need to teach that everyone is worthy of kindness and praise..... and the sad thing is - the good and Godly things don't seem as much fun at times......
