Ya, it's akin to a parachute malfunction, only ol' Justin and Janet didn't have a reserve, so they augered in after that horrrrrible performance.
I've done some thinking about just what it is that offends me so much about this whole affair and I've come to the conclusion that just like the Michael Jackson thing and the OJ Simpson trial it is the smug assumption that these celebrities believe they can fool us, the watching public. And, if in the rare moment when we, the watching public, actually calls them on their bad behavior, they smugly believe that a fake smile and false apology will mollify us.
The frightening thing is, most of the time they are absolutely correct.
It's enough for me that I'd like to see all of Hollywood and the rest of these psuedo-celebrities slowly tortured with no mercy or recourse. They just wait in line for their turn, where they are slowly branded, gored, lit on fire, mutilated, or have their eyes gouged out with a rusty spoon.
If you make a movie which doesn't please me, put the actors, director, producers, and financial backers in the line.
If you make a rap album, stand in line please. You will get your turn eventually.
If you need a laugh track for a sit-com, get in line.
You get the idea.
