Paris and Lindsay -- Two Playground Bullies

Remember your mother's sage advice when you told her about another kid who was bothering you at school? Picked on you during recess or laughed at your mistakes or tried to intimidate you? She gave you a comforting hug and told you to "just ignore them and they will go away, Honey". Seemingly so simple yet so hard to put into practice when you're a child, your feelings and emotions stretching to cope with those stomach-in-knots situations. Eventually you and your adversary follow divergent paths and that contentious relationship dissolved into a distant memory......

Why don't the press, the paparazzi and the public apply that same logic and simply turn their backs on these two? Are we really so needy that we have to watch two women constantly embarrassing themselves?

I don't know about you but I get worn out by the feeding frenzy the rest of us are subjected to surrounding their sad life choices. Maybe realizing their behavior is not acceptable would be the best way to save them. Maybe being left out of popular publications and tell-all television shows would be the best life-changing rehab program of all.
