On Despicable Behavior; Or, What Is Wrong with People?
Two items, to wit:
1. This gem from radio host Don Imus... How does one come back from this kind of commentary? Can contrition be sincere when it's directed by a publicity team? Other recent examples include the Michael Richards onstage heckler freakout and the bigoted remarks by an actor on the set of a TV show. These people met with members of the community they offended. Was all made better? Was anything made better?
2. Photographer and playa-apparent Larry Birkhead, newly announced as the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, raising his arms at the requisite press conference as if the champion of, what? Parenthood out of wedlock? Sycophantic attachment to fame?
Slaps on the wrist and a meeting with Al Sharpton don't make our world a better place. Hit these people where it really hurts - in the wallet. They should slink into obscurity, which to them is the real anathema.
