Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : Lindsay Lohan in Playboy

[Jonathan - Limestone]

I don't know about you guys but I think this girl is throwing her life away. IMO she is totally out of control, and needs to wake up quick. What are your opinions on this?

She's a drug addict who can't stay out of jail...who cares about Lindsay Lohan anymore?

[Gerrit]

Everyone deserves a second chance. Regardless of Playboy (some women who are very much in control of their lives decide to pose in it, either for the money or because they have no issues with nudity) ; IMO Lindsay Lohan and others in that situation mainly deserve compassion and a helping hand to get them back on track. There's no point in looking down on someone and ridiculising him/her, that certainly won't push them back into the right direction.

PS: I won't buy the magazine, I think it's a bit women-unfriendly even when most women posing in it made the choice voluntarely and for a very decent financial bonus. Most women I meet in town are as pretty as the models in there anyway, and clothing means you can use your imagination I'd say magazines such as Playboy are borderlining decadency.

She's not only had a second chance, but a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and even seventh chance.

May 2007 - Arrested DUI & cocaine possession, July 2007 - 2nd DUI, August 2007 - Went back to Rehab, since then, she's failed to appear in court, been on the set under the influence of drugs, been in jail a few times, in and out of rehab, and now posing for Playboy.

Unless she shows she's willing to change she doesn't deserve any chances. Not to mention all the partying, booze, and drugs have caught up with her, where I wouldn't want to see her nude.

Yeah, She went from being HOT to a HOT MESS!

Who is to say she is out of chances? No one can be the judge of that.

Anyone can completely change their life at any moment. She could wake up tomorrow and become a saint. Your condemnation is part of the problem in my opinion. She's a mess because her life is under a microscope 24/7.

I say leave her alone, let her do whatever she wants. She's a person and has the freedom to do as she wishes without judgement. This is the same freedom we all have, and if we start judging people we had better be prepared to be judged as well.

You all failed to read my first note.

I was merely reiterating that she has had many chances. I don't put her or anyone under a microscope. What they chose to do with their lives is their choice. I'm not in the media, I didn't start the thread, my reaction to it was, who cares.

[MrBox]

I read your first note. I read everything you wrote, in fact. What makes you think I didn't? Just because I don't agree with your way of thinking doesn't mean I didn't read what you wrote...

Not everything I said was directed at you personally, obviously. I'm talking about the media and the celebrity watchers.

I just don't think any one person (you for example) should be judging someone they have never met before based on problems in her life that have been under public view since she was a tiny little girl. It's no wonder she's such a mess. I think maybe people should take some pressure off her and let her try and live her life. This is the same thing that the tabloids and media have done to countless other "celebrities". It's disgusting.

When you quoted my message I figured it was directed at me.

Again, as I stated earlier, whose judging? If Lindsay Lohan was never mentioned again I could careless. If you received a DUI in May 2007 you certainly wouldn't still have a license in July 2007 to nail a second one. Celebrities get different treatment because they are always under criticism and spotlights and are generally forgiven for what they've done. It is when they're repeat offenders the media gets all over them.

I would call this a judgement.

[Gerrit]

Even if she had tens of chances wasted, she mainly has ruined her own life without hindering or harming others. In that case, and especially since examples of similar people managed to get back on their feet succesfully, we should give her the opportunities she needs to indeed get her life on the path she desires again (which I'm quite sure won't be the path she walked the past years)

The media always putting a spotlight on what she does isn't helping and it wouldn't be the first person collapsing under constant media pressure. So I'd say leave her out of the limelight for a while, let her have access to the help she needs, and then wait and see. We've had plenty of people collapsing in her situation, but there's been enough examples too of people who managed to get grip on their lives again. As long as one harms no other, I don't think you ever run out of chances.

I don't really care to be honest. Has no impact or connection to my life. Celebrities are just like everyone else in the world.

Yes, a judgement on wanting to see her nude or not, I'll agree.

If you are familiar with Playboy it is considered Adult Entertainment, of which, is a choice and preference magazine for the purchasing party.

It is not a judgement on her life or decision to be in playboy.

It is also her choice to be in the limelight by being in Playboy. She's receiving 750k or more to do it...so I'm not that upset for her . If playgirl magazine wants to pay me 750k, media can spotlight me and my wanker.

Well, yes and no. Celebrities, weither we like it or not, are in the limelight constantly. They can use this for the good purpose or for the bad.

Random example, weither you like his music or not, Bono has been using his status as a person people listen to and pay attention to, for the good cause by charity works and shining the light on some very serious concerns. He knows people pay attention to him and uses that knowledge for the good cause.

Some other celebrities collapsed under that constant attention or used the attention given for the bad purposes.

Celebrities are not worth more than any other person, the one difference is they're getting attention from the mass audiences. That does make a difference ; a good or a bad, depending on how they deal with the attention given.
