People don’t need attention they crave

People+dont+need+attention+they+crave
Moses Lopez, Tim Dickerson/TM

People need to stop being selfish, inconsiderate, annoying, ridiculous and attention-craving individuals.

If people were not desperately craving for attention before, they definitely are now.

The recent hoax performed Richard Heene of Colorado was completely and utterly foolish and irresponsible on his part.

Not only did he lie just to get attention, but he involved his kids and forced them lie as well.

The father used his 6-year-old son and made the media believe that he had floated away in a gigantic UFO-looking balloon, when in reality the boy was hiding in the attic the entire time.

Are people that crazy enough to involve and endanger their children now in order to obtain publicity?

Have people really stooped that low and have complete disregard now for the safety of their children as long as it is a means of getting publicized?

It is ridiculous. It is selfish. It is irresponsible and most of all it is absurd.

People who do imbecilic moves like Richard Heene who utilized his child for publicity, or Chris Crocker who made a fool out of himself by making a video crying hysterically to “leave Britney alone,” deserve to get a slap in the face or better yet, a slap of reality.

What kind of person has those kinds of goals? Goals that include endangering other people for his own benefit?

Grow up. Wake up and realize that all your efforts are in vain.

Why not get publicity for something good and sensible?

Why not focus all your energy in doing something that will contribute to society or benefit you in a way that does not make you look cretinous and does not put others in danger?

It is shameful for people to seek attention by committing such ridiculous stunts.

Whether it be to trigger opportunities such as getting your own reality TV show, book deal, or even getting your face on TV, it is something to be looked down upon and frowned on.

Mature and realize that by doing such ridiculous things you only make yourself look completely dumb.

Yes, you will get publicity, but is degrading yourself and being made to look like an idiot to the entire world really worth it?

But if publicity is what you want then go right ahead. Knock yourself out. Dumb yourself out. In twenty years you most likely won’t even be remembered and if you are you will be remembered as just another idiot who did something stupid.
