Comments on: MacAulay Culkin: Best Sleep He’s Had In 20 Years http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/macaulay-culkin-best-sleep-hes-had-in-20-years-24679 Celebrity sports gossip since 2001 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:23:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Brooks http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/macaulay-culkin-best-sleep-hes-had-in-20-years-24679#comment-100222 Brooks Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:34:42 +0000 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/macaulay-culkin-best-sleep-hes-had-in-20-years-24679#comment-100222 What's so sad is the media's disconnect from society. ALL the coverage is celebrating M.J., yet it seems the vast majority of those over the age of 25 realize M.J. for what he really was. Under 25ers (not all, I know) now live in the internet-generated celebutard culture, where no-talent dolts like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are icons. Pseudo-celebrity generated by sex tapes. Great. What's so sad is the media's disconnect from society. ALL the coverage is celebrating M.J., yet it seems the vast majority of those over the age of 25 realize M.J. for what he really was.

BS.  The sooner people start calling these scumbags out for what they are - and then NOT buying their records, or going to see their movies, or watching their TV shows - the better. Celebrities do what they do because they can.  As soon as they realize they're losing popularity for being a creep, they shut their stupid mouths and stop acting like animals. fl - Well said.  That's a major problem with today's pop culture; no one is willing to call a person out for their behavior.  Oh, he's just an actor, or she's just a singer, what they do, what they say, etc, has nothing to do with their profession.

I cannot in good conscience honor such a person.

Maybe I should've chosen little boys.  Apparently it's not that big of a deal in the States.

The rest of you can go back to perfectly respectable act of pleasuring yourself to underage golfers and tennis players.
