Real men don’t fuck trophies…

You can dress ’em up as much as you like and show off the sales tags, but you can’t put lipstick on pigs. The woman in the photograph will not age well as she’s already starting to rot from the inside.

By responding to this story, I’m as guilty as the people who watch everything from Jerry Springer, to the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. But I had to vent.

Where are the stories about bus drivers who let the broke mom on with her kids so she can have enough energy when she gets home to prepare dinner?

Where are the stories about mechanics (that’s right the men and women who keep your car running) that helped a kid get his first car so he could make it to work after school to help put groceries on the table for his own family?

And tens of thousands more…

There are so many beautiful stories to be told that lift the human spirit rather than celebrate the pigs among us.

We need a community network that has news at 6:00, news of a different kind.

The first 20 minutes will feature reporting about how individuals and families worked the system to survive. The broadcast will include tips and advice for Americans with needs.

The next 10 minutes will feature stories about “real” beautiful people. The one’s who have radiance that blinds because their spirit is one of compassion, empathy, and assistance.

I’ll watch that news. But this Kardashianated world we live in sickens me. Please wake me up.
