Stupid is as Stupid Does

That quote is directed at Lindsay Lohan. She entered rehab today, and though I didn't necessarily plan on throwing out my views on the girl, the topic came up at dinner, and as the conversation unfolded, many soapboxes came flying at me, just waiting for me to hop on board.

I was sitting down to dinner with the girls. Now, I should say, I was sitting down to the pizza I picked up, lest you think I actually cooked. I sent KellsBells back to get Katybug to come to dinner, and as she sat down, she said that she heard today that Lindsay Lohan got arrested. At this point, I was already mentally chastising the poor little movie star about how her actions caught the attention of little cherub-faced innocent little girls all over the planet, and how she should know that because most of her movies are directed at the tween crowd, she is looked at as a role model and should step up to her position and use her powers for good instead of evil, and how am I going to use this little observation by a child to start off on a moral lecture about the perils of drugs and alcohol and which Bible verses would I use to illustrate my point.

Then, the conversation takes this turn:
KB: Do you know why she was arrested?
me: Yes.
KB: I always knew she was gonna do something stupid.
me: Really?
KB: Yeah. She's wild. She's, like, always changing her hair color. First it's blonde, then it's brown, then it's red. She's wild.
me: And she made some poor choices. It just goes to show you what can happen when you make poor choices.
KB: Yeah. You do something stupid.

So, I guess I don't have to lecture her on choices. I don't have to go all Biblical on her. (I've had to before, and it was pretty funny.)

As for you, Ms. Lohan, seriously? You're gonna get caught. You have a bazillion people with cameras following your every move and you don' t think anyone's going to see the bouncer have to carry your slumped-over self to your car?

And Lindsay's mom? BE A PARENT.

Soapbox done.
