Ironic isn't it? A woman who decided to put her Children on a TV show in front of Millions......

The definition of Chutzpah:

Someone who kills his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.

Pretty close, here...

I can totally see that. On the other hand there is a difference between being a fan and being obsessed. I like music for its own value and don’t attach any value to the artists politics or opinions on anything else. Case in point is the song ‘war pigs’ which is a classic jam but I don’t much care for the message.

Well, as Ozzy would say:

Muzzle mum bettle fizzle do bung wunga wunga....

I agree that the cult of celebrity is destroying (or helping to destroy) today's children. At least I agree that it's among a number of things that's hurting children. If I could I'd like to shut down the E-Channel, MTV, and VH1. That would go a long way to improving today's kids. But for this woman of all people, who is only famous for being famous to bite the hands that feeds her. Boy that takes chutzpah!

But she actually made some excellent points in that article about the limits of self-esteem, and the difference between achievement and fame and celebrity. All in all, that was a pretty good piece.

Well she did one thing right. Few people know that the Osbornes have a third child, a daughter named Amy, who refused to be on their show. She lived at home with her family, just wouldn’t be filmed.

Ozzy has talent as a singer/showman, Sharon comes from a great business family. I still have no bloody idea what Warhol was?

The people who are inside the industry, the people who help make the bad product, the people who profit from the trash -- if those people are willing to stand up and say "We've been producing crap and we recognize that it has caused damage" -- if those people seem to adopt a position that is close to my own, then I will applaud them. I'm not an Osbourne fan, but I'm happy to see this piece.

And while I recognize that parents play a central role in helping their children consume good material, having insiders stand up and say, "This isn't good material' has got to be a plus.

"...skinny face, and his collar too big for his neck, so the effect was a bit tortoise-like."

Exactly. Poor Kelly was only 16. Good grief.
