Marmite


 Love her or hate her, there seems to be no getting away from her.



 Is this what you would call a healthy role model? A style you would be pleased for your 17 year old daughter to pursue? The rabid pursuit of fame no matter the cost to her health both physical and mental?
 I just feel a bit sleazy, a bit soiled, a bit ashamed that I sit there and watch as she goes out week after week to  "perform",  booing and baying like a spectator at the Coliseum. I know she is of an age to make an informed choice and is in control of her own life but don't you think that some-one should have a word with her.  Do we really want to see a teen with a fragile hold on her sanity loose it on our t.v screen and call it entertainment?  Years ago we had travelling freak shows where people with physical disabilities were made to perform so that the public could taunt and geer, we wouldn't dream of doing that now, yet that's not a million miles away from so called "prime time" t.v. 

 Maybe next week she should sing the Manic Street Preachers song
 " If you tolerate this Your children will be next"

   Love her or hate her,you cant help feeling a bit sorry for her.
