Sometimes, fading away is not a bad option

I don't care for the girl, her lifestyle or her music. Never have. She's prostituted herself since her first hit single and done nothing worthy of admiration since.

But this picture speaks volumes about what is wrong with our society, our obsession with the *cult of personality* and the value (or lack thereof) of self-respect and dignity in a digital mass-media driven culture.

Leave the girl alone before you drive her to further self-immolation.

I think Neil Young was being ironic when he said "It's better to burn out than fade away." He didn't mean it literally, folks.
