Re: My previous post

Hey folks! My last post was sort-of a new kinda post, where I make use of the ease of Blogger to rant and rave about whatever's in my head. I know that I made the last one seen like a generic sort of rant, but that was only because I didn't think the source upset would ever have the chance to bother me again. But she is/has/will have that chance, at least several more times, or so it seems.

Her name is Ashley Powers. She's 16, runs a website, is writing a book, and from the headline of a newspaper article I refuse to read, she's gonna be on TV soon. Maybe with her own damn show. Apparently, the whole Ashley Powers empire is based on the "We're teens (or maybe girls) and we can make a difference! Here's Advice! Here's Makeup Tips! Here's crazy ways to have fun spending thousands of dollars on our sponsors' products!" vibe that is already dominating teen-media. Now, I'm sure all of you are familiar with the phenomenon: Whenever a teenager does something like this, he or she gets all the fucking press in the world, because the adults of the world are so used to thinking of teens as hopless ragamuffins that it just puts them on their ass when one goes and accomplishes something.

This girl is a FULL-ON teenager, however. In the half-hour I listened to her speak, she expressed not one opinion that had any merit, or that seemed to be based on anything other than a catchphrase. I wish her all the luck in the world, because as far as I'm concerned, if you can convince someone to give you money to do anything, then that's good. But since she's gonna be famous for her angst-driven mediocrity, I want to go on record as saying I pegged this little bitch before anyone else knew who she was.

Thank you.
