Just chiming in to say that I'm ashamed of Ashton Kutcher and Alec Baldwin for tweeting their support for Joe Paterno and lamenting his termination. It's a pretty gross spectacle to see two super-famous rich actors who each have like a billion followers support a guy who knew of Jerry Sandusky's secret fetish (boning down on little boys as young as 10 years old) and simply didn't do anything for fear of losing his job.
Now, Ashton says he'll have his people review his tweets before he posts them. People don't seem to realize how pathetic this is. You're a grown ass man and you can't trust yourself enough to not say something supportive of a guy who enabled a child molester so now you're having your entourage make sure your tweets are copacetic? All couched in "Oh, I'm so busy, sometimes I tweet opinions without having all the facts." Bullshit, Kutcher. You'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard about the Sandusky scandal and Joe Paterno's involvement. But it's nice to know that Ashton thinks his fans/followers are all dumb enough to believe such crap.
Their opinions are symbolic of the way this country feels towards giving sports figures carte blanche to commit sex crimes. Like the high school in Texas that punished the cheerleader who refused to cheer for the basketball player who raped her. It's disgusting!
