(7,638 posts)Much like the brain addled infomercial entertainers and whining minority that make up the gunnutery crowd. Only these are better, and you must listen to them. But only you, because you asked. If you need help with any other decision in your life let me know, I will guide you so you don't feel lost.

FormalObserver
(37 posts)Typical. Just assume and assume and when you get called out, crickets.

(37 posts)So why have these celebrities do this ad and not just some regular people? If "only Faux news people think like that" then I guess it doesn't matter who delivers the message, so why celebrities?
Skittles
(153,182 posts)what is wrong with celebrities speaking out? They do have rights you know, the same as do REGULAR PEOPLE.
FormalObserver
(37 posts)Not saying there is anything wrong with them speaking out.

Nanjing to Seoul
(2,088 posts)drugs, sexism, shallow attitudes about beauty and violence in most of its productions.
When these same people vow and stop making, producing and starring in splatterfests, gorefests and when the musicians stop making use of the word "bitch," the "n-bomb" and glorifying their own avarice, vice and worship of the all-mighty dollar, I will believe the things they say.
Until then, their message is nice. . .but hollow.

Everything I said is reality. . .not a talking point. When I told by a record producer "there is no underage in the business," i stand by my previous statement.

(16,399 posts)....you just went on a rant about how awful everyone in Hollywood is, and you're an actor/entertainer/singer?
Ok, that IS funny. Ya got me.

(1,939 posts)in this case the entertainment industry. Then because they have been successful they are excluded from even speaking on the issues of their day. That don't really even effect their careers. Maybe these people are just tired of watching young kids get massacred or I could be wrong.
