Do people not care????
I watched part of the Lakers-Clippers game in between the World Series last night and the crowd was chanting K-O-B-E . Why are people chanting his name? At best Kobe is an adulterous liar (yes he has asked for forgiveness and I hope he gets it from his wife and never fucks up again) and at worst he is a rapist. Sorry I cant see why people would cheer his name at this time.

Also R.Kelly (him of numerous charges for child porn and abuse) has a concert coming here in a few days. Tickets are selling like hot cake and his records are still sitting pretty on the charts. Dont people out there care about the character of these people?

Sorry if someone has posted about this already but this shit is bugging me.

1. In a word..no
people don't care...all they care about it celebrity...witness California...
If the public likes you, you can do no wrong or your followers will not believe the charges against you are true...as in Rush Limbaugh. Too many people are shallow, quick to judge others, hold people they dislike to a higher standard than those they like...ie: Clinton is bad for being a "draft dodger" Dubya's OK even though he went AWOL...
Don't get me started! :grr:

2. People are rebeling against what they see as an injustice
I guess, I just question THEIR interpretation of injustice.
