The downward spiral of filth

In the entertainment you have to get in the public’s eye. In order to do that you have to do something that catches the public’s attention. Scandalous behavior is always helpful to that end these days, of course, since there really is no negative effect to moral scandal. The problem for the stars is that there is so much that is scandalous that in order to garner any attention, you have to do something even more scandalous than all the rest of the scandal. And so we have a downward spiral of immoral behavior as the stars claw to stay at the bottom of the scumheap.
