I can't understand for the life of me as to why people demonize normal body functions.<br /><br />As for her mother, her mother seriously needs to lighten up. If the businessmen/manufacturer doesn't want to manufacture Jessica's pants designs just because she farted, well then obviously they all have some mental/psychological issues that they need to deal with.<br /><br />There are more important things that should be criticized instead of demonizing a normal function. No wonder why society in this day and age is totally screwed up.ceebeehttp://tomorriscat.ecrater.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-72405159656904237392010-01-31T19:00:15.965-08:002010-01-31T19:00:15.965-08:00Interesting that you know/taught Crying girl (as w...Interesting that you know/taught Crying girl (as we still call her)<br />Media takes a situation and can totally "rip you a new one" so to speak.<br /><br />I am glad I am not famous.....<br />cause I've been know to fart at the store and I don't want anyone knowing that ---EXCEPT ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS (tee,hee)wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619293936418976914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-48204963343736702322010-01-31T13:59:38.482-08:002010-01-31T13:59:38.482-08:00I can't imagine dealing with the criticism cel...I can't imagine dealing with the criticism celebrities (and authors for that matter) get.

Take Tiger Woods for example. It's not like I like what the guy did. He was an idiot, plain and simple. When you live in the public eye, and you make millions off the public supporting you, I think you have some sort of an obligation to at the very least, be decent, especially in sports because so many kids consider you a role model, look up to you. BUT. No one is perfect. It infuriates me when the media doesn't allow those who have screwed up to suffer in silence. Why is it even news?!<br /><br />I often think that tabloid media outlets must be completely without a soul, but then, they feed what much of america wants. And that's what makes me sad. I don't know though... hounding a thirteen year old who cried on TV? That just seems all kinds of wrong.<br /><br />What you need to do is be the kind of famous where people recognize your name, but have no idea what your face looks like unless they see your picture on the inside of a book jacket...Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739365854048008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-65203223493998171722010-01-29T06:09:29.399-08:002010-01-29T06:09:29.399-08:00My near-brushes with fame have convinced me it is ...My near-brushes with fame have convinced me it is a curse.
