I hate Hollywood

So I was sitting around thinking about what to bitch on today...and this is it!

I actually really do hate Hollywood big time. I hate how people all over this country are suffering and these people roll around in huge piles of undeserved cash and then think they're so frigging wonderful for donating some of it to charities. And donating their time like it was so much more precious than mine or yours.

Whatever happened to the entertainment being lower than the people they entertain? Remember in school when you learned about Shakespeare and he was like dirt poor and all the actors were lower than peasants and the people they entertained were kings and queens? I want that! I mean...gawd. What did they do to deserve this ridiculous worship of the American people? If ever there was an example of how screwed our priorities are, this is it.

Off the top of my head I can think of at least twenty professions that ought to be paid even a fraction of what Hollywood makes. Doctors, teachers, ME. And if you know me I don't even care that much about money. I just don't want to worry about it. But the fact that someone can get paid millions just to play basketball REALLY pisses me off.

And because my man is in the biz I'll throw this out...the producers ought to make WAY more than the stupid actors and actresses. They do the real work. Are you with me?! I don't care if you are, I know I'm right. It's like the country woke up someday and said, "I think I want to pay people for being pretty. Screw talent, screw hard work, screw the average person and the national deficit, let's blow cash on NOTHING!" And then everybody gave a big cheer and blew bubbles. Beautiful.

Not that I don't enjoy a good movie or show. I think they're a fantastic waste of time and I don't know what I'd do without them sometimes. (Except Mario...now those are some people who deserve their money!) I just think we can get it for a lot less. It's too late now, but what if we said, "Ya know what, we've been putting up with this for way too long. You all are going to entertain us, and you're going to do it for a reasonable price." Seriously. Why does Britney Spears have a bigger house than you? What makes her so damn special? Can she actually sing? Is she even really that good of a dancer? If it weren't for Hollywood she'd be down the street at the new strip club just like the rest of the kinda pretty local girls.

What is incredible are those movies like Shrek and the new penguin one. Somebody worked hard on that. Not to mention cute as hell. But the voice actors should make even less. You don't even have to be cute to make a cartoon.

I don't know what I'm saying. It's irritating. Almost as irritating as people who can't spell "Canadian". Especially the ones who actually are Canadian... And they judge our school system.

But I don't hate Canada. Not today anyway. <3
