Celine Demon

Well, our nation has been rocked by tragedy, and on hand for emergency photo ops were our legion of celebrities. Oprah, Celine Dion, Sean Penn, George W. Bush and scores of other mindless idiots have gone into the ravaged areas to make a difference (in their ratings).

I shouldn't be that hard on Sean Penn. At least he showed up with a boat and tried to help people escape from the flood waters. Sometimes these retards can actually do something that matters. I like what Russell Crowe had to say. He was sick of people like Bono constantly in your face about whatever pet issues they have and that they're only into it for the publicity. He said:

"I do my bit to improve the world but I think it's very important to get things done on the quiet. I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a cheque in the right place and shutting up about it."


Rock on, Gladiator. Rock on.

Despite the fact that I'm unabashedly liberal, it's the liberal celebrities that I hate the most. They aren't helping, they're just bitching on national TV in a vain attempt to pretend that their existence makes a difference. At least the Republican celebrities actually do something. Think about all the celebrity politicians you can think of. They're all conservatives. Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sonny Bono, Fred Thompson, all Republicans. Put up or shut up, I say.

Comments:
Now they're putting on a benefit concert. Why don't they take the money that they are doing to spend on the concert, and put it towards hurricane relief.

"But wait, Captain. What about all the relief money they'll make from the concert?"

What, is Bono a pauper all of a sudden? Sheryl Crow left her checkbook in her other pants? They can't make up the difference? People know where to send their money. It's called the Red Cross.

"But Captain, doesn't a benefit concert help bring a sense of national unity in a time of crisis?"

Yeah. Unfortunately the people who need the most encouragement, the most support, the most hope, and the most love DON'T HAVE FUCKING ELECTRICITY!

"But don't you at least think that their hearts are in the right place?"

Sure. The only problem is that between their hearts and their brains lies their publicists.
