Okay, it's official! Celebrity news offends me!  email this discussion to a friend?

I got back home and read a celebrity article called "Hard Sell: The Top 12 Ineffective Celeb Ads". There were a few things that disgusted me about it.

(Warning: I WILL go on a tyrade...)

The first thing that absolutely offended me was when they talked about Audrina Patridge doing a commercial for Carls Jr. Here's what they said:

"Two problems here: Drooling frat boys don't watch "The Hills." Girls who watch "The Hills" are, like their patron St. Audrina, usually resistant to solid food."

I wish I could express in words how much this offended me. Let's look at what is being said here for a moment...

Notice how they say "drooling" frat boys. Not just any frat boys but the ones that drool. Yeah, they pretty much put fraternities into a box. Disgusting. But the second message is even worse! They're saying that girls who watch the hills are all anorexic/bulemic! Yet again, they put a group of people, this time being girls who are fans of "The Hills" into a box! Words cannot describe how offended I am!

The second thing that offended me... They described Jennifer Love Hewitt in a Hanes commercial like this:

"There J. Love was, being called out for losing her "I Know What You Did Last Summer" physique, all while modeling the latest in letting-yourself-go undergarments. Rough."

Are they saying she's fat!? Seriously, go and look at the commercial if you can, I'll wait...

Okay, does she REALLY look fat? Seriously, it's like if a model isn't skin and bones, they're automatically fat. What do people want from them!? Personally I think that's a good shot! She looks beautiful in it!

Third thing that offends me about it... Yet another ad makes a shallow remark, and this time it's aimed at MADONNA!

"... There's something about an aging pop icon doing suggestive leg lifts with a designer purse that seems wrong... Perhaps because it brings to mind the feel of old leather?""

This is absolutely appalling! I mean, c'mon, it's Madonna! And they're making a crack at her because she's OLD!? Seriously, it's like they're saying old people shouldn't have sex or something because they feel like "old leather"! That just comes with so many derogatory meanings I'm surprised I don't throw my PC out the window just hearing it!

The last extremely offensive thing was what they said about Hulk Hogan in an ad for 10-10-220:

"When we think of Hulk Hogan, we don't usually think about thinking..."

Yeah, those guys must not have been thinking if they think every wrestler is dumb. Yet another shallow remark putting some group of people in a box.

So... Who honestly LIKES the people who write these columns so much that they continue doing it? Because, honestly, they deserve to get fired.

I like them, but not all the time. I'm sick of our media idolizing celebrities. Most celebrities are usually bad people and not very bright. If most celebrities weren't famous, they wouldn't be doing ads for burgers they'd be serving us burgers. Sorry if that's offensive, but it's the truth. Anyway, not all ads are great. Should the author lie? It was bad timing when JLW did her ad. I've seen pics of her not looking so skinny. I'm not saying she should be size two, but your body should be in shape if you're selling undies. Madonna is not a favorite of mine at all. It's funny how because she's "Madonna!" as you say she shouldn't be made fun of. So, nonfamous people are ok to be made fun of? She doesn't act her age and it can be off putting at times.

My aunt seems to like that kinda stuff. She's a bitter person, and her house is always messy because her husband doesn't help much. But yeah, if this is the typical demographic of the people reading this stuff, than all I can say is it probably has to do with the fact that they don't want to suffer alone. They want someone else to suffer the same way they do, and if they're all starry-eyed and happy, they get offended because they're not happy and someone else is.

But this is just a theory.
