Not that I think that sometimes society sucks....

...but sometimes it really, really does.
However, being a free country there's not a lot I can really do about it but do my best and hope that other follow my lead as opposed to the lead of others with a lesser reputation. Like the ugliest lady in pop, Amy Winedrinker. Apparently she came second in a poll looking a idols for young people, losing out to only Wayne Rooney...
Though in all fairness to Miss Winedrinker I feel that all this is not so much her fault as that of the trash-media that follow her around everyday, taking the photos that show her (and others) in various states that can simply be described as "a state."
Another example is the trash-media's way of suggesting that appearing normal is some way wrong. In a bid to pander to a certain demographic I'm going to include a picture of a girl in a bikini. I appologise to those who might be thinking that I'm dropping to their level, but if you skip on I am using it to make a point.
Honest!!
For those who would like to know why I've included this picture, it's because it appeared in yesterday's copy of The Metro ( a free newspaper at all train stations) with the following caption; 'Britney Spears bares her bulging belly while holidaying in Costa Rica.'
Hands up here who would honestly put the phrase "bulging belly" next to that photo?? I shan't even mention the "Baby on board?" question that titled the photo caption.
Now if Britney here is in possession of a bulging belly I would hate to think would they would say to a photo of someone like me (who is a tad more rotund) splashing about in the sea wearing a bikini.... a slight pause as you try to remove that image.... but I think you get my point.
Actually, I do feel slightly sympathetic towards Britney (unlike my feelings towards Miss Winedrinker). I suspect that she really did become a really big, international superstar so quickly, a whole bunch of bad advice, not the best of friends and the trash-media have thrown her off keel. I very nearly titled this post; 'Isn't she lucky....???' but after reading even more trash-talk in todays paper I decided to make this post a bit more general, rather than just about Britney.
It is nice to see her looking happy though.
