Humor from Hollywood.
I had to laugh today -- I was flipping channels this morning and landed for a few moments on a special about a new movie called Mad Money. Apparently Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes conspire to steal money from the Federal Reserve. It's all for a good cause though, Diane's movie husband Ted Danson lost his job and all their money.
I can't remember exactly, but Ted Danson said something like it's good to have criminals you can root for -- yes, technically they're taking money that doesnt' belong to them, but it's a little teeny crime and you can get behind them because life has done them wrong. And come on, they have so much fun while they're doing it.
All I could think of was the ludicrous hypocrisy of the 'piracy is stealing' campaign Hollywood keeps running. Make stealing look hip and cool in movie after movie, grind morals down into the dust and make good folk look square...then turn around and tell people stealing from you is bad. Uh...yeah.
