Revisionist Idiocy - George the SERIOUS ARTIST and Carrie the Feminist

Two drug-addled stars die of heart attacks, and all the press can do is spin them as ICONS.

How about a lesson here; that doing drugs is dangerous?

These two stories should underline that millionaires with fame and success can't stop being screw-ups till they die, and that everyone should realize in their own mundane lives, the dangers of excess.

Nope, instead Carrie is remembered as a "wild child," and a hedonist who was always doing drugs, and George was an admirably promiscuous haunter of men's rooms and pick-up bars.

How ridiculous: instead of describing how these two died due to wretched excess (drugs weakening the heart, George getting obese, Carrie never stopping with the pills) we hear they are POP CULTURE ICONS, SERIOUS artists and GROUNDBREAKING figures in social history!

No, George Michael was never a serious artist. He was just another irritating 80's pop star. WHAM!

Carrie Fisher? A feminist? What feminist throws herself at Dan Aykroyd? What part of a bad marriage to Paul Simon speaks of feminism? Ah, fucking Harrison Ford for a while wasn't just an uninhibited or slutty thing to do, it was showing equality in one-night stands. WOWEE. Being the lone woman in a "Star Wars" movie, with a pair of sticky buns on the side of her head...that was feminism? Later, wearing some kind of Barbarella outfit and being turned into a sex symbol...that's feminism, too? Sure, like Madonna the Feminist.

To every season, SPIN SPIN SPIN.

They gotta find SOME ANGLE to make you click those links so they can get those precious pennies.
