Is she for real, or just says these kind of things for ratings value. Surely she can't be serious.
It's called shock value, it's the quickest way to make it big in the U.S. Even if you're hated, you still walk away with a ton of dough, just
cause people like to be ticked, they'll watch you on T.V. Advertisers make money, trickles down, ect. Everyone loves a good bomb thrower.
Unfortunately, since TV is "instruction," it means kiddies watching horror shows like Coulter and Sharpton and Springer see the limits of what's
acceptable behavior moved farther to the fringes.
I heard on the radio that a survey of 12-year-old schoolgirls showed 40% or so thought 'lap dancer' was a desirable profession. I'm not one of
those 'world is going to hell in a handbasket' types, but I'm a big believe in sending a wake-up call to America. And soon.
BTW: WithoutEqual, I noticed the USS LIberty logo avatar. That's an important topic for ATS, it seems to me. i'm new here. Has it been discussed
recently?
