A Rolling Moss Gathers Sharon Stone

It is being reported that when she returns from rehab, Kate Moss will be arrested for being videotaped purportedly snorting cocaine and “glamorizing drug use.”

That’s bullshit – and not from just a legal standpoint. Can anyone prove that was cocaine that Kate Moss was snorting? Maybe she’s into snorting Splenda...we all know that child doesn’t eat.

If anything, indeed, does glamorize drug use, it is printing and televising images of her snorting a line in the first place. Folks who watched the video were engaging in a glamorized, morbid curiosity in celebrity. May I ask, are they being taken in for questioning for being smug assholes? Because pompous assholism, if not a crime now – it sure as hell should be. Schadenfreude, while not illegal, is certainly an affliction of damaged, ugly people.

If there is any “glamorizing" taking place, it’s that folks who snort a line glamorize their use internally -- mentally -- because it’s a helluva lot easier to think of yourself as glamorous rather than thinking of yourself as a junkie.

Kate Moss is coming to grips with being a junkie mess right now – do y’all really think that’s fun?

I can assure you it is not.

It is not fun knowing that folks are talking, speculating, conversing, arguing, fighting, disagreeing and discussing the fact that you are a self-confessed junkie mess.

Speaking of which, where's Naomi's ass? Where's anybody but Sharon Stone these days? I’m a recovering junkie mess myself, so I have no problem stepping up and asking anyone waving their finger at Ms. Moss a few questions.

For instance, I would ask, “Did you feel better about yourself sitting on your fat ass watching her do a line?”

I might also ask, “Do you think you’re a better person because you’ve never done cocaine – and if so, have you never done something harmful or self-destructive?”

Because if you are that free from either being lazy, selfish, shiftless, greedy, needy or wanting – then I would like to meet you. I heard that Jesus was due to be strolling around for the second time and I’d like to shake your hand for being so free from human weakness, frailty and bad decision-making.

Industries like fashion – and sports, for that matter – that willingly and specifically do nothing to address the use of illegal drugs do more to glamorize drug abuse than Kate’s skinny, drug-addicted ass.

When a culture willing perpetuates an aesthetic and an ideal that is, in many cases, unattainable without chemical assistance, or Photoshop – you set in motion a series of self-fulfilling prophecies and consequences.

Young girls will starve themselves to be that thin, young men will inject hormones to get buff and they’ll all do lines (every now and then) just to try to fill the void that is created by artificially constructed ideals of beauty, power and success.

Kate may go to jail – but there’s gonna be another girl taking her place on the covers of Bazaar and in the bathroom stall doing a bump.

You can’t take the glamour out of drugs without taking the glamour out of a culture that necessitates self-medication. Pick your vice: cocaine, tv, blogging, yoga, pilates, biking, smuggy-right-wing assholism.

It’s all symptomatic behavior, kids – it’s just that some of it is illegal and some of it isn’t.
