Does anyone else get irritated when Hollywood A listers try to cram their political views done our throats?

Answer 1

It does tend to be really annoying, because rather then actually know what they are talking about, they hear an issue and instantly start preaching about it. While some actually take the time to understand what they are going on the offense about, it still feels like a celebrity is saying "I'm famous; this is what I think and since you like me you should think this too, or you're not a real fan." New and younger voters are going to see their idols like P. Diddy, Ben Affleck, The Dixie Chicks, etc. supporting certain people and rather then follow that political figure's platform and actually understand what that person represents, they say, "hey P. Diddy likes them, so I like them." I'm not saying actors can't vocalize their views, but when they cross the line into telling me who to vote for and who not to, they go too far in my opinion. If they want to show support for that politician, put a freaking 'vote for ____' sign in the yard!

Angel -I totally agree 100% with you on Tom Cruise!! He is not a doctor of physiological medicine nor to my knowledge has he popped a child out of him personally and dealt with PPSD. So how is he the figure of knowledge on this subject, because his whacked out "religion" tells him so? Wow and that makes him the authority on tell me this!!

Answer 2

Who does that? At least they care about something important and meaningful. Much better than hearing about their pet chihuahua or how many kids they've adopted.

We shouldn't have to hear anything about celebrities other than when their next movie or CD is coming out.

And we need a new rule: You can't be famous for being famous or be some idiot who starts some drama on a reality show. You actually need to have some sort of talent.

Answer 3

He has accomplished all he can do, all any president has the understanding & ability to do. he's doing the single maximum extreme ingredient he can do and that's thoroughly revamping the government business enterprise MMS. He could make a on a daily basis visual allure on the Gulf coast, yet that would not replace one solitary ingredient. there is different government organisation that could desire to be addressed. well being care reform is finished. The gushing oil leak is now. the two are actually not linked. You do understand that large oil led us all to have self assurance that they knew what to do in case of one in all those disaster and that they lied? in the event that they might't end it with their meant awareness, how do you assume the president to end it? ask your self why you're actually not you down there assisting? pass! proportion your awareness.

Answer 4

Yeah, can they just shut up and make bad movies already? Just because they trick us into forking over $10.50 for their crapfest movies, they think they can influence our political views? If they really "care, " they could donate, I dunno, a million bucks thats just laying around in their wallet instead of cracking open their noisemakers and assaulting my delicate tympanic membranes with their stupidity! So yeah, I guess you could say I am irritated...

Answer 5

absolutely--- like tom cruise (although not polotical) had no right to take shots @ brooke shields AND matt lauer---those are his views and when you start pushing them down other people's throats-- you're just going to piss people off

Answer 6

Yes!

Answer 7

It only bothers me when actors run for political office.

Answer 8

I don't listen to them. They have their own liberal opinions, and I have mine. Frankly, I don't need someone so far removed from the middle class to tell me what to think about an issue.

Answer 9

I used to, but now I just ignore them.

Oh, and we all know what the "A" in A-list should really stand for. :)

Answer 10

Yes, I do too.
