Too sad for cake

This week's Too Sad for Cake was another close race....

Coming in second was Jerry Lewis




How many more celebrities need to use derogatory comments in public before they learn their lesson. I have thick skin, but come one. What you say in the privacy of your own home is your own thing, more power too you. But when you are having a Tele-thon on national TV, I think you should watch what you are saying.

This week's "winner" however goes to Whoopi Goldberg. This was her first week on The View, maybe even her first day, and she goes to defend Michael Vick and say dog fighting is okay in the south. I understand that the south is years behind us yankees, but dog fighting; come on. "He's from the South, from the Deep South ... This is part of his cultural upbringing,"
"For a lot of people, dogs are sport," Goldberg said on the show. "Instead of just saying (Vick) is a beast and he's a monster, this is a kid who comes from a culture where this is not questioned."

A few things to note about her comments. First off Vick grew up in Newport News, VA; which is two miles south of Washingotn DC. I would hardley call that the "Deep South." There are a few other things that used to be excepted in the south that thankfully are no longer socially acceptable (slavery, voodoo, witch hunting, cannibalism too name a few).

I read an interesting blog about this whole Vick thing and the writer pointed out that he wonders if there is anything anyone will ever be able to do that everyone condemns. It seems that nowadays everything you do is defended by someone. Dog-fighting is part of his culture. Bathroom sex between two people is normal. Being pregnant and doing coke because you are misunderstood and your parents never loved you. If you drink, drive, and have coke on you; as long as no one is killed (even if you tried to run someone over) is ok. Come people. Stop defending idiots for their stupid actions.

What next, someone will start defending baby fighting?
