This is why I have taught my kids to avoid hero worship, especially celebrities. You can admire the way someone plays the violin or hits a little ball, but by no means put any human being upon a pedestal. Put your trust in God and all others pay cash. From Ghandi to Hitler, we're all pink on the inside.
Have you seen the New Tiger Nike commercial?
You know, the one where Earl comes back from the grave to scold his son? It is sad and disgusting all at once, using his father's memory to sell nike crap. If you buy stuff because a celebrity tells you to, you really need to look inside yourself and examine your values. For once, I agree with something in the NY Times...
The parodies are much better than this corporate crap. Go see for yourself...
