I once heard my cousin's mother tell her that her obsession with Lindsay Lohan bad because Lohan is a terrible role model. Well, sorry to burst your bubble people, but role model's don't exist. We made 'em up. Like our rights, amendments, religion, sh*t like that. And I can prove this with my usual flawless logic.
Because, there's two sides to the role model argument. There's people who will say, "They're good role models" and then, "They're bad role models". Hitler is a bad role model. Lindsay Lohan is NOT a bad role model compared to Hitler. I'd rather have my kid worship Lohan than Hitler, and the reason she's not a bad role model compared to Hitler is because, well Lohan never IMPRISONED THE JEWS AND KILLED THEM. The worst she's done is drink and drugs, and honestly, in the idea of it all, some teen is gonna do that stuff WITHOUT having a role model anyway. Listen, no teenager sees a celebrity doing something and then wanna do it. Kids play Basketball because they enjoy it, not because they see Michael Jordon.
Same thing with the Hitler argument. You're kids gonna do stupid and terrible things, but they'll also pull off some great amazing things, it has nothing to do with role models. I consider Abraham Lincoln a good role model, but I don't see any of my classmates pulling to free the slaves. It just ain't gonna happen. That's my point, role models have no effect on what we do in our lives. If we're gonna do drugs, we're gonna do drugs, we're not gonna do them because Lohan did them, or whomever did them.
And for the record, I think Lohan's a good role model. She's shown them that girls can do anything as well as men, including getting facked up. It's all bullsh*t folks. Leave her alone. Leave it alone. You've lost this battle. You want a good role model? Try taking after me.
I at least have logic.
