ARE YOU NUTS! NOT THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN!!!
So a bit off topic from my usual Bong Bloging today. I was working away the other day when I suddenly caught a few minutes of the “Elen DeGeneres show which was blaring behind me. She was ending her show with her concern in regards to how a real estate company has proposed to build houses in place of the Hollywood landmark sign! Of course I being someone who not only loves Hollywood, its sign and its heritage representation of everything movies, it immediately caught my attention. Once Elen explained how horrible this plan was and that WE need to stop it from happening she proceeded to let us know as the viewers that if WE want to stop this demonstration of true corporate greed, then WE need to donate money and help raise $900,000 in order stop it!
Now the last time I checked Elen was a multi millionaire as are ALL her friends such as Oprah, Dr. Phill not to mention every A-list actor in Hollywood!!! Why is it that they need money from regular folks such as you and I who are struggling to make a living as is? Yet when something as unthinkable as this is presented then WE are supposed to scrape together what little money we dont have in order to stop it from occurring? I was hoping she was going to end the show by saying dont worry about it, I paid the bill myself because I can god damn well afford it! Hell her and Oprah could flip the bill alone if they did not buy that next luxury unnecessary home decoration by one of their high end celebrity designers!
Im glad that she brought the attention to the word on her show but if she really gave a damn then she or each and every Hollywood actor in Hollywood should step up and take care of this instead of asking US to come up with the money! I just want to say shame on her and all those rich entertainment industry corporations and individuals. You think at least the studios in California could pool together and take care of this. Nine hundred thousand dollars is a drop in a bucket for a city where billions of dollars are generated annually!
If I had the money trust me that I would flip this bill in a heartbeat! I cant believe that even the rich and famous in Hollywood dont seem to give a damn about its heritage and importance!
Not so generous Elen De Generes!
