Are we all just slow learners?

Today I heard that Gilbert Godfrey (sp?), the voice of AFLAC insurance, put out an offensive tweet that I suppose he thought was clever, about the tragedy in Japan, following the earthquake.  Now granted, many of us want to find some humor in a tragedy, jsut to calm our own nerves, as we worry about the long term consequences.  Howwever, these are usually just among close friends, who even then, might still be offended.  Godfrey, on the other hand, put it out for the world to see.

Then there was another little blurb on AOL's newspage, about some B-llist actress who may have yet some MORE nude pictures floating around the internet. I mean...MORE???  ANY are TOO many.  Did she not see this coming?  Did she think it would boost her popularity?  Rather than make her a laughing stock?  Didn't Paris Hilton's faux pas a couple years ago make any impression? 

OMG, I just read the whole article and it seems that Glenn Beck, 50 Cent, and even Lisa Kudrow made inane comments.  50 Cent was the only one to clarify his comments and add that we should all be sympathetic towards the Japanese. 

I guess these people don't read the paper;  or think that due to their (assumed) popularity, that they're above criticism, and won't be reviled for their absolutely assinine behavior.  I'm happy to wallow in my anonymity on this Day 102!
