When did people's private lives become public??

OK I've had it up to here with all the TMZ's and paparazzi styling of what is referred to as news nowadays. People are so obsessed with what other people are doing that its making me sick. Look at the whole Dog The Bounty Hunter thing....What he said was not for the public, it was between family members, yet people are now demanding that he never get his show back.

I mean come on! He's a damn bounty hunter. What was America expecting, Shakespearen Prose? I know I didn't watch Dog The Bounty Hunter Show for its take on politics or it's view on the Iraq war or for tips on spirituality....I watched it because I like to see doors kicked in, and the chase.

To make comparisons I'll bring up Al Sharpton. Sure, people say he represents the black community and is a leader, but do they also forget that he too has used racial slurs? And to make it worse, his were in public on many occasions, saying such things as "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house" and referring to Jews as "diamond merchants" and has called people white interlopers.

The moral of the story is that what is said in someones own home is THEIRS...not ours. If someone want to go home and use racial slurs IN the confines of my own home then they can....It's when they use them in public that its a problem.

So do this Nosey America. Instead of pointing at what everyone else is doing, realize that while you are pointing that one finger at them, you are also pointing three at yourself.
