An email pointed me to an article called "Suggested Celebrity New Year's Resolutions 2009," put out by beliefnet. In the article, the author picks apart everyone from Britney Spears to Sarah Palin, in essence publicly mocking their mistakes, heartbreaks, and traumas while offering advice on what they should do in the future.
If you're just dysfunctional friends with benefits, that's fine, but we'd recommend for the health of everyone concerned, admit it to yourself and to members of the tabloid press so we don't have to suffer through the daily "they're together!/they're broken up" dance. [image and quote]The article is supposed to be light-hearted and funny, but it's in bad taste. Celebrtities get hounded and ridiculed enough by the secular press. Shouldn't an online magazine with the words "inspiration" and "spirituality" in the tagline be more compassionate and uplifting?
...Or maybe I'm just judging them. Either way, it's a lesson for us all.

Yes .. I agree that a publication with such lofty aspirations ought to .... It always amazes me that very few people actually understand the things they (or write) say reveal more about them than whoever they are trashing. -- Linda K.
