this annoyed me so much.
i got my sister to come up and look at the article, and we were doing imitations of what the news reporters and/or the celebs may have said when they heard the news.
"ohmygod, it's ONLY $600!? but last year it was $50,000! that is NOT even worth getting! ewww!"
but you know what?
$600 IS a lot, and in case these over-priviledged celebs didnt know this, most people would LOVE to receive a gift like that.
i couldnt believe yahoo! would be shallow enough to put this on the site as one of their headliners. maybe they didnt have anything else to put in.

well, anyway, all i wanted to ask was..
who else felt the same flash of annoyance when they read that article?

Yeah it is really sad. $600 is a lot to many families. If you have two parents working minimum wage jobs thats an extra week of wages (here in Ohio it's $6.85/hour).

From a governmental standpoint I think the IRS should investigate what kind of gift bags were given out at the globes, the Oscars, Emmys etcetera and see which stars actually claimed this income on their taxes.
