Is this what we've come to?


When we're dead and gone, and the aliens are digging up evidence that we existed (yes, that is from AI), I am preemptively embarrassed that this is what they will find. Miss Tila Tequila, the most disgusting person on earth.
A person of no discernible talent, who has nothing of value to offer humanity. Someone who got famous for having a ridiculous number of "friends" on a stupid, narcissistic social networking site. A person who remained famous for pretending to be bisexual to titillate "fans", wearing lingerie, being on a low-brow "reality" show, whoring around on camera, and appearing in a sex tape.
But all of this is pretty tame compared to her latest venture.
This chick hooks up with an obviously troubled young lady who apparently had a drug problem, legal problems, and had recently lost custody of her daughter. Someone who was in the middle of a downward spiral. And what does Miss Tequila do? She latches on to this girl to get her name in the tabloids once again.
And now this young lady is dead. Tila's reaction? She "tweets". And tweets and tweets and tweets, about how she's grieving, about how much she loved this girl, about how sad she is.
Really, Tila? When did you have time to grieve, when you were too busy updating your Twitter feed so that you could keep the attention of all your "fans"? (Fans-that's a term I use loosely. What exactly are they fans of? Skankery?)
The very next day we find Miss Tequila, the grieving widow, posing outside her home, all dolled up, fake cans out and proud, smiling while the paps click away. She climbed a goddamn tree for Christ's sake. And smiled and posed for the cameras. Basking in the attention.
And when bloggers and news outlets pointed out how abnormal this kind of behavior is for a "grieving" person, she had the audacity to take a picture of herself with tears running down her face, gazing forlornly at the empty space next to her in her bed, and post it online. She even washed off her makeup before conjuring up the fake tears or splashing water on her face, however she did it. So that we would know just how sad she is.
I think that's what did it...that last picture. The self portrait, the fake tears, the insincere Twitter post.
Only someone truly twisted and soulless would take the death of a troubled person and use it to gain more notoriety (think Joe Jackson). Use it as a media ploy, a way to extend her 15 minutes. This kind of behavior is not just narcissistic, it's psychopathic.
Sadly, this is what we've come to. This is the kind of person born of media, tabloids, internet narcissism. She is a figurehead for everything that is wrong in society today-someone who makes money and gains fame by contributing absolutely nothing.
I'm sorry aliens...we're not all like that.
PS, hey Tila, fuck you.

  1. Sad, isn't it? When I first heard of her, I asked who she was. With a name like 'Tila Tequila' I thought she had to be a porn star. But no, this is actually worse (porn stars aren't pretentious little shits). I had much the same thought you did.
