We can't find the money to educate kids, feed/house the homeless or take care of the medical needs of our elderly - but seeming can prioritize the money to pay some soft porn ho to say "i do" on camera.

I feel sick.

1. boycott celebrities

this trivial celebrity crap should be the subject of a massive liberal boycott.

[Hydra]

2. Micro reflects macro

In this case, we got to see how money calls to bigger money for selling ones self out.

And people laugh at me when I tell them that the rich often get perks they don't have to pay for.

[Ruby the Liberal]

3. Seriously?

The easiest example is airline miles and upgrade perks.

Do people not understand the phrase "the rich get richer" has nothing to do with investments (or tax rates!) and everything to do with station in life dictating whether one pays their way or not?

[Lorien]

4. I don't watch TV, so who are these people and why does anyone care about them?

[Rex]

5. They are reality TV people, second class actors getting

paid like superstars.

[Kat45]

6. Companies/people will give rich people all this expensive stuff

And then they'll gripe about giving food to a starving, homeless person. Sickening!
