Lohan and James

The title for this post sounds like a law firm. It's not. Lindsay Lohan and LeBron James have taken the egocentricity of the entertainment and sports world to new and despicable heights. I know we all need a break from the sad realities of our world, but the creation of entertainment celebrities and athletes into the second coming of the Lord seem so out of proportion. I am not naive to the fact that these people have been marketed and created by many managers and media types that make their living this way, but it simply is not setting the example we need to set for those who will tackle the problems of the future. LeBron chose to stop his education and Lindsay decided she could not comply with the legal punishments for her alcohol abuse. These are their choices and I for one do not think they are the role models for the future. I like to be entertained too, but not with egocentricity and elevating the importance of mere mortals. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
