Will the (Former) Miss California Please SHUT UP!!!!!!

You're a pageant queen, not Nelson Mandela. You lost your crown NOT because of your views on gay marriage, or because you lied about posing topless, but because YOU DID. NOT. DO. YOUR. JOB.
Ya don't show up at the places your contracted to show up, you get fired.
Period.
So quit yer bellyachin' about how you're being PERSECUTED. PUH-LEAZE!!!!! The pageant PAID FOR YOUR BOOBS. You're genetically blessed. You grew up in La Jolla. So, OK, none of that guarantees a perfect life, but YOU ARE NOT BEING PERSECUTED. You lost a pageant crown, not your livelihood, your freedom, your family, or your life.
Talk to the families of people around the world who have disappeared, never to be heard from again. Talk to the widows/widowers/children/family of soldiers killed in battle. To the soldiers spending month after month, year after year, in hostile territory, away from their families, in constant danger.
Talk to Matthew Shepard's parents. Ask about how it feels to have a son tortured and murdered because he's gay.
You said in an interview that "tolerance should be a two-way street, and it's not." Really? So you're discovering that there are people in the world who don't kiss up to you and agree with everything you say? Well welcome to the real world!!!!!
OK, I get that you're 21, you've been living in the peagant universe, all that. But to act as if the whole world is against you, and to go crying to entertainment reporters about how unfairly you've been treated is, quite frankly, pathetic. About as pathetic as those two idiots from "I'm a celebrity" yada yada yada.
But you know what's even more pathetic? All the so-called "news" shows that give you and your "plight" air time.
However, your 15 minutes are done. Over. You and Bikini Girl can go cry in a corner and leave the rest of us alone. Let the Miss Universe pageant be forgotten again until next year.

Since when has being a jerk become the new way to be a role model? (Hmmm...maybe since "Survivor" started airing, perhaps? Setting off the the slew of dag-nasty reality TV? The only reality TV I want to see is baseball.
And "So You Think You Can Dance.")
I don't want to watch jerks. I'd rather watch hot English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh/Australian folks chase dinosaurs, travel through time, etc. (see recent post) and be nice to each other.

Oh, and to the entertainment shows? Leave Chas Bono alone. She's becoming a he. You don't need to harp on it, and you REALLY don't need to comment on his weight!!!!!!

It's been a rough week. Thank goodness Friday is here!
Have a great weekend, all!
