The Entertainment Industry is Doomed

The Centers for Disease Control released a report today on the prevalence of cigarette smoking in movies, which they naturally say is too often. According to the CDC’s report, nearly half of all the popular movies released in 2009 contained some sort of “tobacco imagery,” including 54 percent of the films that were rated PG-13.

Now, perhaps this pisses me of just because I am trying for the 84397502938475th time to quit smoking, but really? This is what we, as society, are complaining about in entertainment?

Our “role models” are self righteous incompetent alcoholics. But they all live in the same house so it’s ok.

Our politicians lie through their teeth. But they follow the party lines, so it’s ok.

But god forbid any of the actors smoke. That will ruin society. It’s fine for you to get PAID to DRINK and make an ASS OUT OF YOURSELF every fucking episode and DEMAND A RAISE which you ACTUALLY FUCKING GET! But no smoking. That’s just wrong.

On a side note, they are making movies about porn movies. Seriously. They are making movies (not documentaries) about movies. That’s how far they have fallen. You can now be cast as someone who was cast as someone. The funny thing is that there are TWO that I know of and can think of right now. One is about people making an internet porn site. So to clarify, you can now be cast as someone who makes a website about someone who is cast as someone. Have we exhausted every possible idea for movies? How about we just stop. Let’s wait 20 years until we get new ideas. Do we really need 500 new movies every year?

But they make rich people more rich, so it’s ok.
