Ok, so before there was Drake and Josh, Zack and Cody, and whatever other combos of exploited child actors they have out there these days, there were the two Corey's. Basically owned the 80's by appearing in what seemed like every other movie made throughout the decade like they were Seth Rogen times 2. Now comes the news that one of the dynamic duo, Corey Haim, died at the age of 38. Based on a reported long history of drug addiction and abuse, many want to point to that as the possible cause of death. And why not? That's what our society does. And that seems to be the M.O. of our media-appointed stars over the years. So here is my question. How did this all happen. You don't have to work in a clinic, police station, or social service agency to see that many people in our society appear to be broken. Broken physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We all have our demons. We have our problems, issues, addictions, and bouts with self esteem and seeking our self worth and the all mighty pursuit of finding one's destiny. But you see, what gets me is the fact that we seem to be creating more harm then good on so many occasions. Whenever you meet someone who talks all about themselves, shows off their abs, cars, or home, we are quick to judge them and call them conceded, ego maniacs, and pricks. Soooooooooooo, why is it that if this person was instead a 16 year old actor who just co starred in a $100 million dollar movie, we instead anoint them as the 'next big thing', and have Perez Hilton and TMZ write articles about this child on a daily basis. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, so what your saying is, if I demand attention from others, I am a jerkoff, but if you make me famous based on my creativity or talent, then I deserve all the attention in the world, and its perfectly Ok and expected (because it 'comes with the territory' based on my chosen profession) Am I the only one who sees the flaws in this theory and/or concept? Well, anyway, its America 2010. So the obvious is going to happen. People will come out of the woodworks to talk about how wonderful Corey was, how loving he was, how talented he was, and how we all wished he would have received the help he needed a long time ago. (Of course, don't forget Dr. Drew and efforts to help, and also I'm sure get him on celeb rehab). Funny how when a child gets an 'A' on a test, a parent, friend, or teacher may give him a sticker, card or candy money; however, if a child scores a role in a big film, we follow him 24 hours a day, throw millions at him, and call him a "STAR".
