“If you want your 5 year old to curse like a sailor, they need to join the navy. If you want them to look like they are selling “cookies, they need to join the Girl Scouts.” Childless Parenting Advice Giver
And now for another edition of Parenting Tips from the Childless where a childless person passes alongadvice that ought to fall squarely in the realm of “COMMON SENSE” and “THE OBVIOUS.” SO I was doing my daily entertainment industry reconnaissance when I encountered this tragedy that is so profanity laced that I my tender ears could not handle it. I would be angry is I was not so very, very, sad. Apparently these tots are “Myspace” celebrities. So I am issuing the following Parenting Tip From the Childless.
Dear Parents,
If you want your child to curse like a sailor, you might want them to be old enough to join the United States Navy. I know this apparently has slipped your notice, but children are not supposed to use word like @$$ and b*tch and other profanities I cannot figure out a way to bleep out creatively with numeric characters.
Now these tiny tots believe that they are “Famous” because they have MySpace pages. In fact, they have had over 30 Myspace pages because they keep getting shut down:
“They need that many because – as one of the little girls complains – “hataz stay getting me deleted.” Well, I’m a hater because I emailed Myspace about this kid’s page which contains photos of the child – as well as her little friends – posing provocatively for the camera.” Sandra Rose
Parents, I know this might have slipped your attention, but there is a slight distinction between “famous” and “infamous.” If Myspace keeps shutting down your page because of “Haterz” getting you kicked off, they might be INFAMOUS, whichmeans people know you, but NOT for a good reason.
In addition parents, if you are posing little children in “provocative” positions online and have them dressed like street walkers, ladies of the evening, or whatever euphemism you use to describe professional “cookie” salesmen and women that could be a major problem for you because then you cross over from merely EXPLOITING YOUNG CHILDREN to specialized form of child exploitation that the Guv’ment really really doesn’t like that. In fact when you put photographs and videos of your daughters on the INTERNET that even LOOK like they are selling cookies OTHER than the Girl Scout variety, Guv’ment is likely to take a particularly dim view of your activities. I sense a visit from CPS in your future.
So my advice to you is to find a local Girl Scout troop near you. Your daughters will get attention you so desperately crave. As a former Brownie and Junior, I can attest to the fact that being in Girls Scouts is a lot more fun and exciting that being infamous on MySpace. Girl Scouts teaches them about setting goals and aspiring to something other than fame. Something far more valuable called “competence”. That means they will learn to do stuff- neat stuff. In the Girl Scouts your daughters will learn how to keep someone from bleeding to death if they happen to be in the vicinity when someone severs and artery, they will know how to apply a tourniquet. You’ll also learn how to make a silkscreen so that they can become t-shirt selling powerhouses online. They will learn how to chop off the head of a venomous snake with a simple garden tool. They will learn how to make peach cobbler with a few hot charcoals, a can of cold peaches and a box of cake mix thrown in a a hole in the ground. (good stuff) But most of all, they will learn how to be entrepreneurial. I’ve seen your daughters’ work. Their ambition. Their charisma. They could be cookie selling powerhouses. Unlike me, who handed the cookie sales sheet over to my Mama who took it off to work, I think these two are natural born saleswomen. Top Girl Scout cookie saleswomen get plenty of the attention these two so desperately desire. So why not have them sell Girl Scout cookies instead of whatever “cookies” you currently are trying to hock online.
This ends this Parenting Tip From the Childless. Until next time… and there will be a next time because COMMON SENSE is apparently unCommon .

Okay, I shouldn’t comment because I am unable to view this video. The computer I use at my job prohibits the usage of video, youtube “thingamacallits”. Anyway, I bet any money that you are are referring to the video with the two young girls (avg. age 5 or 6) decked out in tacky and loud ghetto gear (apparently from “Fisher Price’s” My First Hoochie Outfit), using the “F” word and “B” word countless times, apparently in retaliation against someone else. I was going to email it to you last night.
This is not only heartwrenching but worrisome because my daughter is about the same age as these girls. Right now, there are hardworking black folks who have no choice but to have their good children associate with this lower tier scum. I empathize with the surrounding neighbors who live properly and worry every day their children will pick up of the ways of this ghetto trash.
Al, you would be correct on which video I was linking to.
But um, I don’t think these girls are “lower tier scum” or “ghetto trash” Day-um Al can’t you even TRY to be politically correct? Oh what am I saying.
Actually I don’t think their outfits are from Fisher Price, that would be House of Dereon Girls.
This is the first I have heard of these pigs doing such a thing.
They really dressed up these little girls in provocative outfits and video taped them, then posted the video on the internet.
Isn’t that illegal, because these girls are under the age of CONSENT
Jim as you can understand, i can’t get into “legalities” however your parent “consents” for you until you are at the age of majority unfortunately this parent clearly consents so consent isn’t where you are going to win this particular argument. HOWEVER, I think CPS has a pretty good case for neglect and if there is a non custodial parent involved, I am pretty sure these videos are enough to have a change of status.
In other words… Where is their father? He needs to come get these babies.
Alright, I may have gone a bit too far but, truth be told, what is the likelihood of some rational and upstanding adult entering into the lives of these children and imposing severe character corrections that will forever change their lives for the better? Cynical as this may sound, we have seen teenage and adult versions of these little girls (and boys too) countless times in our communities. Its time for us to take the hardline because working class black folks are suffering underneath the brunt of the culture of ghetto tyranny. The infrastructure in many working class black neighborhoods are being rendered unusuable because of the nonsense exhibited by that video.
These little girls, and their male counterparts, will view the well mannered and motivated child of their neighbors as soft and potential targets for their foolishness. I want to be compassionate but I find that I am wasting that compassion at the expense of the encouragement that I would normally offer to the “good kids”.
I think the black community is at a moment in which we have to cut the “fat” in the most uncompromising ways. Our culture and human capital is at stake.
When I see things like this, I immediately look at the parents. Someone might hate me for saying this, but children this age are not capable of understanding what it means to curse, pop their booties, or anything of that sort. All they know is someone they look up to (probably their parents or an older sibling) is doing it and say that it’s okay.
I knew a little girl like this who would roll her eyes at me, pop her booty, speak “ghetto-ish”, etc. Luckily, when I was babysitting her, she was at the age where things could be reversed. She was only 3 years old. So every chance I got, I tried to let her know that it was not acceptable in my presence and if she does it again, there will be consequences. I think I might’ve had an effect on her because she grew up to be a smart, shy and sweet young lady who respects others and respect herself.
Hopefully it’s not too late for these two girls. I don’t even see them as being trash or ghetto, I just see them as being sweet girls who need more love than what they are getting right now. Those girls don’t know any better, they are probably sitting in front of the tv right now screaming because Hannah Montana is on lol.
Somebody give me the mama/guardian’s number/email because they are the one who is ultimately responsible for this.
SIGH.
Do we know for sure that the two little girls were being recorded by a parent and not some irresponsible, stupid babysitter?
I shudder to think that a parent, no matter how impaired their judgment is would exploit their children like this.
Unfortunately, it will probably end up being true that it was the parent who coerced these two babies into acting a fool on camera.
SIGH.
I think the black community is at a moment in which we have to cut the “fat” in the most uncompromising ways. Our culture and human capital is at stake.
-Al
I used to think that way, Al, but isn’t that partly why our communities are suffering so bad now? Blacks that “cut and ran” from the ghetto (albeit for safety reasons in a lot of cases) left these communities to the few who couldn’t afford to leave but wanted to and the many who just plain don’t give a crap.
I would venture to say that in Los Angeles where I live there is a real separation amongst classes in the black community. A lot of these kids have no one to help rescue them because those of us that can do better are choosing to just do better for our close friends and family. Unfortunately many of these kids are being raised by women who are so emotionally immature and irresponsible that they become isolated.
Isolation is a real issue in our community. Some of these kids have never even been outside of their neighborhoods.
IDK what the solution is but I just think that for the babies especially we cant just walk away from them.
I was horrified. I do agree with all the points made but I def see where Al is coming from.
I recently gave a poetry seminar to some younf ladies, mostly black at the boys and girls club. It was fun and they were wonderful but I was dismayed by the attitude some displayed. We don’t have to be this way and we shouldn’t teach our daughters to be head bopping, foul attitude having harpies.
I strongly caution that we not turn this into a class-battle again. Tis problem isn’t just regulated to the lower class either. I suggest reading Black American Students in an Affluent Suburb: A Study of Academic Disengagement” (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates), is by John U. Ogbu.
Ogbu states “What amazed me is that these kids who come from homes of doctors and lawyers are not thinking like their parents; they don’t know how their parents made it,” Professor Ogbu said in an interview. “They are looking at rappers in ghettos as their role models, they are looking at entertainers. The parents work two jobs, three jobs, to give their children everything, but they are not guiding their children.”
“But they are not guiding their children” I think that one statement sums it up for ALL (low and middle income) parents.
I believe Gina even attested to her post yesterday
“In 9th grade this juvenile delinquent gang banger who used to be an honors student in elementary school…….Long story short he did not walk across the stage with us ……He was not broke. He was not dumb. He was not crazy. He was just immoral and arrogant. He got away with whatever he could get away with until Mama remanded himself into the custody of the state FOREVER.”
Sorry for the typos. @ work and just had to add my two cents
Class is an issue and it influences culture. Everyone on the “lower tier” is not dysfunctional. However, my heart goes out to the members of the black working class who live underneath the brunt of ghetto culture. If ever there was a fascistic and undemocratic element within the borders of America, it is present within many of our “hoods” and “ghettos”.
If you, a black person, posesses something of value, members of the “lower tier”, who are also black, are going to attempt to take it. Keep in mind that I am not talking about food or a winter coat in the middle of winter. I am talking about flat screen televisions, Playstations, sneakers, as well as the forms of brutality leveled against young black males who are courteous and intelligent or young black girls who are trying to do something with themselves.
I’ve made myself the advocate for the class of black folks who are oppressed by this tyranny. Their victimizers are not the Ku Klux Klan, white folks and their racism, or the republican party. Their victimizers are other black people who have made a lifestyle out of being trifling, lazy, and ignorant.
There was a time when I referred to black folks who supported ideas that I believed to be counter to the notion of “black liberation” as being “Uncle Toms” and “sellouts”. I’ve ended that foolishness as a result of asking a simple question: “If intelligent and industrious black folks can be called “Uncle Tom” for having a set of beliefs that are percieved as against the interests of black folks, then how am I to feel about black folks who intentionally do physical, mental, and material harm to hard working and honest black folks?” My days of railing against Clarence Thomas are long over. I am redirecting my angst and rage against the Tyquans and Sha-quay-quays of the world. They are the ones who ruined the infrastructure of places like Bedford Stuyvesant and Southeast D.C. We’re only talking about 15-25% of the black population. The remainder are the ones who are living right yet they experience a form of ghetto induced oppression and tyranny in a way that far exceeds any influence that racism might have upon their lives.
For too long we have been anticipating a revolution against white folks and their “system of oppression”. Boy, were we off base. There are black folks who are honest and hardworking who are in need of an electrifying influence to guide them to overthrow ghetto tyranny, and the foolish negro-leaders who come to their aid (hear that “my days are numbered” Reverend Baby Daddy and Reverend Hotcomb!”).
A new day is coming and on that day, there will be a black insugency against the minority of “ghetto sellouts and Uncle Toms” that soil our streets in their hoochie skirts and du-rags. They will live in fear of young teenage black girls sitting high atop water towers and elevated subway platform with high powered rifles.
From AL
“A new day is coming and on that day, there will be a black insugency against the minority of “ghetto sellouts and Uncle Toms” that soil our streets in their hoochie skirts and du-rags.”
Ooh, let me, let me…
Mega entities like BET & MTV will tremble as black adults (with or without children) shake off their long sleep and awake to realize that during their slumber, their communities had been plundered.
This resurgence of black pride will swell and young men will pull up their “britches”, and young women will no longer seek to put their bodies on display for the world to see.
Education will again be valued within our community. We will no longer seek to tear down brothers and sisters who disagree with us, but will take pride in our diversity of thought. Rappers, once thought to be role models, will be looked upon with scorn for the damage they helped to bring to black youth looking for an identity.
Black parents will recognize the true value of their children and pour wisdom, knowledge, and encouragement into willing vessels.
Okay, kids as willing vessels. Perhaps, I’ve gone too far.
Yme…
me, you, and a whole bunch of other black folks have been separated at birth. There is a silent black majority out there who look incredulously at the likes of Michael Eric Dyson and Al Sharpton. WE were the ones who were nodding when Cosby delivered his poundcake speech.
Normalcy needs to be restored to our communities. If you’re like me, you have refused to drink the Kool-Aid that has been administered by the “good” Reverends and academics.
From where will the restoration of normalcy come?
I think that both Dr. Dyson AND Dr. Cosby are correct. The correlation of crack cocaine and material poverty to ignorance, crime, violence, lack of educational attainment and plain common sense is a well worn research path. We are now witnessing a neo-slavery caused in part by crack and a consumerist materialism, the dysfunction of which extends from Wall St. to MLK Blvd. In previous generations we were also exposed to poverty and social deprivation but what is new for us is the inability to cope, keep on keepin’ on, and out-maneuver the effects of material poverty and racism. I agree that, for the most part, the black church has recused itself in this 21st century struggle and bought into the same values of hustling, self-centeredness, and obsession with money and prosperity espoused by the underclass. I also believe that a better day is coming, but not before the black church comes up with a new theological system that moves beyond the boundaries of prosperity or building monuments to itself in the form of new church buildings and begins to engage with the pressing needs and everyday struggles that people face on a daily basis.
Stories like this (and I saw the sad video) are not all that surprising to me anymore. Because this has been accepted by so many in the so-called “Black Community” as the new normal. It seems to be a normal part of the Black culture…particularly the hip hop culture. In fact, I expect nothing more from that culture.
Where were the parents? That seems to be a common question. And someone has to be doing the filming, and taking photos and setting up Myspace pages. DFS…. already overwhelmed with Black babies (pick a State), probably wouldn’t feel a sense of urgency… because they see this all the time.
The basic blueprint always seems to be the same… Mom is either out working, at school, selling drugs, working the street, or is in the criminal justice system… the father… well, you can figure that one out. More often than not…he’s either in prison, dead, or a deadbeat. But even if Mom is away doing something legitimate… she’s still responsible for making sure the children are placed in the care of someone responsible. And if not… by extension… it is child endangerment… i’m sure the mother knows it’s a risk.
And Rap/Hip Hop culture reinforces the irresponsible behavior in these communities. This is why it is so dangerous. Someone mentioned that Rap culture even takes over the lives of children with successful parents. Even for those children… Rap becomes the template…rather than the example of the parents… who took the long path to success… going to college, studying hard, etc. It shows the power of Rap culture.
But like Al stated… Blacks have to cut this away somehow & stop taking ownership of a culture that has nothing to do with the values of a large portion of Black folks. That’s why I hate the way this culture is courted by the NAACP, Essence Magazine, Ebony, BET and all the rest… they are all the same to me. They send the wrong message to the world regarding the values of “all” Black people. It’s beyond annoying for me.
There are 2 or 3 “Black America’s” right now… (if you want to call it that… I hate the term)… There is the Black America that follows the model of Rap/Sports/Black Hollywood (which seems to be the majority or dominant subgroup)… then there is the Black America that values education, hardwork, safe/clean communities, work ethic, traditional relationships, marriage, and a more socially conservative….and perhaps even a more politically conservative outlook. Then there is the Black America with one foot on one side and one foot on the otherm going both ways..(a subgroup that seems to be growing).
But rap culture is spreading like a Cancer…impacting even those who one would think would be insulated.
Those of us in that second group have to do more to insulate ourselves from the affected groups….without completely abandoning those groups…and not helping. But for those who don’t want to help themselves… they have to be cut away.
Now when I suggest this… I am accussed of abandoning the Black Community (which would suggest/assume that I considered myself a part of the “Black” community in the first place… suggesting that I therefore owe something to it…. which isn’t necessarily the case… but that’s for another discussion). But I guess Al stated it better.
But i’ve seen worse cases of abuse/neglect via the internet. It’s part of the new normal. Parents are abandoning their kids basically… allowing MTV, BET, Myspace, and Rap culture to raise their children. So now Black girls aspire to be strippers, porn stars, video vixens, models, rapper or sports groupies (for the meal ticket)… there doesn’t seem to be as many who aspire for much more than that these days. And as soon as these girls are 18 they are entering this world….
It’s the same with the males…. Rappers, sports stars, “hustlers”, etc… there has been a breakdown in the entire Black cultural fabric, since the 1960’s and 70’s. We will continue to see the fallout for the next two generations or so… We are now seeing the children of the 80’s and 90’s entering the world…. now they are having children. Soon the children of the 90’s and 2000’s will be entering the world and having children….
Somehow someone has to figure out a way to reset what “normal” and acceptable are supposed to be. Otherwise… it’s just going to get worse in increments.
The question is… how is that going to be accomplished?
It’s going to have to be a programmatic process…and a multi-front attack.
Something has to be done about the images…
Something has to be done about Rap culture/music
Something has to be done about the issue of marriage
Something has to be done about Black female self image in particular
Something has to be done about education (esp. teacher pay/retention of good people)
Something has to be done about the economic conditions in these communities that lend themselves to these underground economies which in turn contributes to an atmosphere of crime.
Parenting has to change…and values have to change.
These things have to be dealt with at the same time…. through private/government efforts. The problems seem so deep and systemic… that I don’t see any overnight solutions.
One big problem is… the so called “Black Community” doesn’t seem to have the will or desire to take on these problems in any serious collective, comprehensive way.
One of the keys to successful change is a sense of urgency…and the “Black community” just doesn’t have it….not as a group.
Anytime someone tries… they are shouted down and vilified.
Blacks protest FOR R. Kelly instead of against him… what kind of message does that send to the rest of America and to the World regarding the values in these communities? This is why Obama will have such a hard time getting elected…in a year where dems should be leading by double digits… all because 1/3 of EVEN WHITE DEMOCRATS have negative views of Blacks. This is no coincidence.
I can recall the New York Rap DJ who was arrested a couple of years ago for threatening to harm/rape a 4 year old baby…. asking listeners to tell him where the child went to school….(all of this happened on the air)… a few months later… the guy is hired by another radio station in New York….with no protest from negroes.
It’s a gutter culture! I don’t know how else to look at it.
That’s why I live in the whitest Part of the St. Louis Metro….yeah I said it. The Whitest part that I could afford. lol. Been in this general area for over a decade…although I had to move even further out this year. I have no regrets. I like Peace and quiet. If negroes want to destroy their communities… what are we supposed to do?
Unbelievable!
The exploitation of those two little girls is really too much!
They are not cute nor should they be considered stars of anything.
The part that really enrages me is the fact that someone older than they are has taken the time to teach and promote this type of behavior.
I have a good friend who has this saying, Do not take pride in your sins.
This is one of those moments when I feel that saying applies.
We are losing our children for the wrong reasons.
Gina…
I have never stated that. Find anything that I have written with that quote. I have approx 2000 posts… and I have never stated that.
That might be what YOU PERCEIVE from something I may have written…. but that’s not anything that I have ever stated. So the quote is innaccurate.
Actually… I would like you to correct that.
AI, I don’t want to misquote you at all. i do recall you commenting that you viewed the Black Community as a burning house and you were standing on the other side of the street watching it burn to the ground. By all means correct me if I am wrong. I hate to be misquoted and I don’t want to do it to anyone else.
With that i deleted my previous comment. But I have a pretty decent memory and your comments always stand out.
Thank you very much
What I have stated is that I “hate modern Black Culture”.
That’s not the same as saying I “hate Black people”.
These are two completely different meanings.
If I hated Black people… why would I be screaming about the Black image? I was screaming about Rappers/Rap Culture….long before WAOD came into existence.
And I know you have heard the music mixes that I put together…. there is no way that I could hate Black folks and be as eccentric about the music I listen to. I have too much Soul running through these veins.
I just have a fondness for the best that the wider Black culture has produced over the years…. that’s all. Whether it is music, images, movies, leaders, whatever… (that’s why i’m hooked on 60’s and 70’s music).
If I hated Black people… why would I be screaming about the Black image? I was screaming about Rappers/Rap Culture….long before WAOD came into existence.
That was kind of my point. I DON’T think you hate Black people in fact I think you love them so much it hurts which is why I roll my eyes when I PERCEIVE you as attempting to separate yourself from Black folk. You are a fraud. Behind all that anger and disgust is a whol lot of love for Black people…otherwise you would yell so long.
I just have a fondness for the best that the wider Black culture has produced over the years…. that’s all. Whether it is music, images, movies, leaders, whatever… (that’s why i’m hooked on 60’s and 70’s music).
Yeah, I figured that. AI you are like a blogging God Father. Few can claim to have been there at the very beginning, but you are one of them
@ Al. I understand your point. But, what I’m saying and I think another commenter touch on this is that many within our community don’t understand what effective parenting is. I thought it was just the MD/VA/DC bubble that I live. By that I mean I cannot comprehended how Prince George County, Maryland, which claims to be one of richest black counties in American still has a troubled school system and issues with crime, more specifically homicides. There are a lot of these suburban kids who act as if they live in the “Ghetto”, but live in 400k home. So I did some investigation and that is how I came across the book I mentioned earlier, which opened me to see that the issue is more wide spread then just my metro area.
Blacks who have attained success on a professional level are a great thing and I’m happy for them. But, at the same time this success is not being transferred to their kids. So, what will happen with their kids? And that’s my fear that these kids will just add to the already ignorant one’s that we have seen on this video.
@Revvy Rev….I agree that this issue is a hybrid one.
@ Gina and AI…glad to see the luv…lol
@Everybody Great discussion guys
As a parent, I have to say that I am appalled. Yet I see this everyday.
I try my damnest to correct this behavior (yes in other children — ask any of my babies and they will tell you how I roll — if i catch your child messing up, i correct them… somebody has to do it) .
but it is easy to place blame. the good parents HAVE to lead by example. bottom line.
I’m going to cross my fingers and hope that that’s an irresponsible teenager filming them and not an adult. Maybe I’m wrong, but I hope I’m not.
The whole “sassy little girl” routine is not unique to black people, it seems to be everyone these days. From the Miley Cyruses on down, girls are raised to be very preoccupied with appearance and boys and even from an earlier age they’re taught to have these “tense” relationships with other girls, hence the “hating” etc.
Couple that with the fact that we live in a country were people are obsessed with fame and notoriety which the internet makes it very accessible. When I saw this clip, I thought back to a clip I saw of the youngest two Kardashian girls give a strip tease on a strippers pole on E! television. They must be around 7&8 yrs old. No one seems to know where to draw the line these days. I can guarantee you, just like the Kardashian girls, someone watched the clip of these two little girls and thought it was cute.
Some of the comments I’ve read here are downright racist. I don’t care if they’re being written by a black person or not. Black people who blame all of there problems on poor black people are no more enlightened than black folks who black all their problems on white people. Being poor is a situation, not a type of person. Furthermore, there are plenty of black people who have convinced themselves that they’re middle and upper middle class when they’re not. They, like most Americans, are often a few paychecks and one mortgage rate adjustment from being piss poor. Just like the majority of whites that flock to the republican party, some of these blacks have found refuge in a false sense of superiority–distracted by the ills of poor people enough to not focus on the people who are responsible for creating the unequal society we live in in the first place.
I remember growing up next door to a working class all white neighborhood. These people were so racist and had the most terrible view of black people and blamed all their problems on us. It wasn’t because it was the truth, but it was much easier to do than actually align themselves with their black neighbors and recognize that the same system that created these ghetto’s is the same system that’s keeping them in a perpetual working class.
I’m well educated, own my place, have a great career and live right in the hood – Harlem. The majority of people in my neighborhood are regular, honest hard working black folks. The majority of kids are not hanging in the street or popping their booties on corners. This goes for my neighborhood and almost every other black hood I have been too. When let ourselves get convinced of our own negative images that we have lost the battle. Yes, we have problems, but this is certainly not all or even a 1/4 of who we are.
sandrarose.com has another story up, where the “adult” who videotaped or created their myspace pages, is put on blast. this video is just disturbing as the one from a few weeks back on the lil kids grinding on the dance floor.
Shucks, I apparently haven’t been reading closely enough. I don’t think I’ve read any racist comments. Let me go back through these…
How come 8-year old white girls look up to female goth/symphonic metal singers who wear 18th century dresses on stage while black girls the same age look up to misogyny?
@ thewhitefanofgina…
That’s why my five year old daughter listens to Black Sabbath and deep house music.
And speaking of deep house music….

Go spread the love!!!!
Exactly. Look to http://www.myspace.com/withintemptation for an example of what I’m talking about.
Wow. I just saw this. It’s terrible, but I have to tell you that I went to a private school in the 1960’s in NYC and kids that young cursed like sailors.
At least we had the good sense not to do it in front of our parents though. What gets me is this mother is in on it and thinks it’s cute.
Andy Warhol was right, everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame, and to some, being infamous is better than being anonymous.
