The media decided to turn its cruel eye on Tara Reid this week, the...uh...let's say "faded" actress from films such as Josie and the Pussycats and American Pie.
The assault began because Reid made an innocent, if somewhat puzzling, comment about filming The Big Lebowski 2 this year.
(She had a small part in the first film.)
Well, the press immediately went to great lengths to make Reid look like a fool. When word got back to the Coen brothers about a sequel to The Big Lebowski, they laughed it off and said there were no plans for any such film.
Since then, websites and television seemed to have taken on the form of a malicious high school sophomore, making Reid out to be both insane and pathetic.
It's not like she's the first actress or actor to make a statement like this.
Harrison Ford was promising an Indiana Jones sequel years before there actually was one. Films are always in development and pre-production. Reid overheard something about a sequel, and she made an innocent comment. Why go after her with such veracity?
It seems to me like it's because the media's favorite game is "Let's make fun of the monster we created."
That's right. I'm not a fan of Tara Reid. She's an awful actress who should never have been in a commercial, let alone multiple films. For awhile, back in the late 90's and early 2000's, she the poster girl for getting acting work based on looks.
(That title has since been handed over to Megan Fox.)
So why am I defending her?
Because I have something against the media shoving somebody down my throat for years only to turn around a decade later and tell me how much they hate her.
Um, if you hated her so much, why were you putting her on the covers of magazines when I was in high school?
This whole "Tara Reid is Stupid Now" trend is ridiculous. Tara Reid has always been stupid. And I'm pretty sure the media's always been aware of it. It's just that she's old news, so now it's fun to kick her around.
Is this the game we're going to play with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber ten years from now?
Because if so, I have one question:
Why can't we just play it now?
