Look. You want evil? Groupthink is evil. Mediocrity is evil. Hopelessness is evil. Decision by committee is evil. Glittery kitten sweaters are evil. Loveless marriage is evil. McDonald's marketing is evil. Spiritual homogeny is evil. Family sitcoms. Microsoft Windows. Disney cruises. Food poisoning. Yeast infections. Cruelty.

As for the rest, these warmongers and power sluts, well, theirs is merely an evil bred of ignorance and gurgling ego and impotent weeping in the night. Theirs is an evil so lukewarm and spongy it makes you recoil and shudder as if you accidentally touched a raw calf's tongue at the Japanese market. Hell, I can find better, more gut-wrenching evil in the Wal-Mart music aisle under "Simpson, Ashlee." The others, they're just the same ol' boring noisemakers howling into the Void.

this reminds me of a conversation a friend and I were just having about seeking out the figurehead of some problem and addressing him/her to deal with the problem...when we should be looking much further down the lines, and most often, back at ourselves. And how we've become really good at letting things slip from our radar, especially when they point to our own contribution to the problems we like to bitch about.

It's funny, a lot of people would say the opposite...Ashlee Simpson and crew are just a small evil made to distract the people at large from the bigger problems of society. Everyone is too busy worrying about what the Celebrities are up to instead of paying attention to what the government and corporations are doing to keep us in control.
I guess if Ashlee Simpson is ultimately the product of a huge mega-corporation, doesn't that make the corporation more evil since they are the ones who spent millions to make her successful? Hmmmm.

Good point t. Remember, it's these folks, the Celebrities AND the Politicians, that BOTH owe their plush existance to the folks you shop with.
