Rants' Raves, Musings, et al Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:18:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 http://www.wengonline.com/2007/07/30/celebs-in-the-news/#comment-224 Weng Sat, 11 Aug 2007 13:04:42 +0000 http://www.wengonline.com/2007/07/30/celebs-in-the-news/#comment-224 Interesting thoughts, Morgan. The kids have so much buying power, now, that they are even considered a market segment. They can coerce parents to buy stuff for them and even influence other kiddies so that it creates a chain of 'mom, buy me this' or 'dad, buy me that' trends. Interesting thoughts, Morgan.

I can remember when actors and actresses comported themselves with decency and were looked up to because they deserved acclaim. I hold the media responsible for foisting upon us every moment a movement of these 'wanabies'. This behavior is rampant - look at the sports stars - Michael Vick, Terrell Owens, etc. Could you imagine them acting this way if Vince Lombardi, Mike Ditka, Hank Schramm, Bill Cower, were their coach? I suppose that the only way we, as the public, going to stop this type of behavior, is to not see their movies, buy their CD's, purchase their clothing lines, etc. Yet, I know this will go on as the kids now days have more buying power than those in the 30-50 age range and that's a sad thing to report. Enough.
