Thread Name: Hank Jr's Hitler remark - censorship?
Subject: RE: Hank Jr's Hitler remark - censorship?
Reality is that famous musicians, actors and sports figures are taken seriously by way to many people... I mean, all you have to do is sew the name "Michale Jordon" on a $20 pair of sneakers and now they bring $100???

I mean, we didn't used to have all this worship/tabloid mentality 30 years ago... We made fun of the Brits and National Enquirer and now it is everywhere you look and people making mega-bucks for nothing...

But with the mega-bucks there is an unwritten rule to "behave yourself" and "act right"... Hank Jr. crossed the line... No big deal... Now he's burned the bridge (at least for awhile)... If he want's to get back then he's going to have to learn that any apology that begins with the word "if" ain't an apology...
