A Guy Could Never Get Away With This...

In this day and age of posting selfies all over the internet, can we just take a break from the vanity of these images that say "Look at me! Being a bit out of shape is empowering, look at my curves, I like me." I agree that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, but imagine if a dude posted a pic with that phrase. It would be a total joke. Like that picture of Jason Alexander shirtless on the couch they use to sell in every college campus book store. I'm out of shape myself, but I don't go around wearing it like a badge of honor for attention. Sorry, but nobody wants to see Chumley from Pawn Stars flaunting his gut. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Selena Gomez is a nice, talented actor, and she's not even fat imo. But her music is exactly what's wrong with the industry today. You go from the Disney Channel, to recording an album called "Selena Gomez and The Scene" Please just stop. There is no band called The Scene behind you, just mega producers programming your music. That is something the record executives came up with to try and give her some credability before she 'offically' goes solo. You think her and her band were out busking for quarters on the street and playing dive bars before they became famous. This is all a manufactured marketing strategy. But these celebrities posting these pics all over Twitter has to stop. It reminds me of when that narcissist Tyra Banks went on her talk show defending fat pics that were taken of her by the paparazzi on a beach. She tells her female audience, "Yeah I got a jelly roll, and I love every extra inch!", and of course the whole audince goes crazy. Then three months later she's back telling her crowd "I've lost 14lbs and look at me now. Tyra's back!" Kim K has to be the worst at this, she's a complete attention whore, famous for being famous. (I have a story about meeting her husband Kanye West but I'll save that for another time) Sorry for the rant, but these celebrities who constantly revel in their own ego just irk me to the bone. This post may not fall under music or comedy, but it is one of my many thoughts on life so there you have it. Maybe next week I'll post a selfie with my shirt pulled up (ala Situation from Jersey Shore), except my six pack is in the negatives. Hmmm, then again...
