American idolatry

Not that I indulge in or care about pop culture that much, but I've had the TV on today.

Something is seriously wrong with our culture when we think it's fine to kick a contestant off the show because she posed *gasp* topless, since breasts are, in fact, the root of all evil in society, but we think it's okay to keep a guy on the show who got arrested for being violent with his fiance and the mother of his son.

Showing boobs: Scandalous.
Beating women: We'll let it slide.
