Highschool Cheer Coach

Carlie Christine lost her job as a cheerleader coach at Casa Robles High School in Orangevale, California., after school officials learned that she had turned up nude in Playboy. Christine appears in a shot for Playboy's 'Cyber Girl of the Week' for the week of Feb. 9 posted all over the internet and as a centerfold in magazines. What apparently unveiled her hidden pictures was when some girls didn't make the cheerleading team because they had a few unexcused absences from school. Their parents in outrage made copies of Carlie and dropped off the pictures on the principal's desk. Not only were they upset their daughters didn't make the squad, but were disgusted by the example she was setting for the young teen girls, whom thought highly of her and looked up to.

Personally, I would be embarrased if my coach posed nude in Playboy. Those single pictures alone would give not only our squad, but school a terrible reputation. No one would ever think of our team without remembering her hidden secrets, which is truly not fair. I feel bad for those young girls who may have thought of her as a role model. I understand that it's her own choice and business to choose who she models for, but don't hide it from your highschool cheerleading squad. I think she should just stay in the Playboy business and stay away from the highschools, it's not the right message for young teen girls looking to fit in.

What Would You Do? (PDA/Absent)

The latest experiment from the producers of What Would You Do?, openly displays affection between two men at a local bar. In hopes of getting the audience responses, the show adds in an actor who holds back none of his distaste and digust towards this publically intimate situation. As the show continued, people began getting upset and frustrated with the rude comments being thrown out by the actor. Almost everyone stood up in outrage pleading for the inconsiderate man to excuse himself from the bar or to shut his mouth. The accepting crowd at the bar were far from being displeased with the gay couple, it was only the obnoxious observer.

In my opinion, I think the display and reactions of the actor were extremely shocking to crowd at the bar. Personally, I can see where the observer was coming from considering I can not stand PDA, homosexual or not, but I think he could've handled the situation in a more respective manner. If I was the disgusted and uncomfortable man, I would simply voice my opinions in a more discrete manner or just exit the bar. Never would I take it to the point of degrading the couple on their sexuality and embarrasing not only them, but myself like that. Affection should be done in private between the couple, not a portrayed as a spectacle in front of an open bar. For one thing I am positive that I would not sit well with those harsh comments, but I'm not sure if I'd step in since I am not a supporter of public display of affection. I would simply just remove myself from the situation and hope the couple would do the same.

What Would You Do? (Racism)

In this episode of What Would You Do, the producers test the customers at a boutique in New York on the issue of racism. The plan was to place a black female in casual and dressy clothes surrounded by no one of the same race. The managers singled her out automatically and began searching her body and speaking to her in vulgar ways in hope of finding stolen merchandise. Numerous customers stood there and acted like they didn't notice, while only a selective few chose to take action. The customers who just let it happen agreed with the managers that her "type" was suspicious and claimed searching her was the right option. Later on after the producers revealed themselves, those crude people tried to cover their ignorance up and say they did not mean a single word they had said about that poor, innocent woman. The select few who actually defended the woman, escorted her out of the store and made sure the employees knew how immoral and outrageous their actions and words were towards the woman.

Personally, if I had been in the boutique that day and saw how those employees were treating that woman, i'd be outraged. Without any doubt in my mind, I would've defended that poor woman. Racism in our society is far from ever being acceptable. Yes, I understand it's still going to exist no matter how much people claimed they've changed, but there's no need to treat a human being like that. If you have an issue with someone's skin color, simply just walk away, there's no reason to degrade that person infront of countless people just for your satisfaction. People of any skin color should be allowed to shop in boutiques without someone watching their every move, that's why we have security cameras, remember? Don't make assumptions automatically just by someone's appearance, give them a chance.

Natasha Richardson

Actress Natasha Richardon, 45, died of blunt head trauma after falling on a bunny slope in Canada. After the sudden typical beginners fall on Monday, Natasha appeared fine, but about an hour later she complained about not feeling well. She had not been wearing a helmet. She was not hospitalized until Tuesday and later was flown to a hospital in New York where she later died. A later autopsy showed that Natasha Richardon suffered from epidural hematoma due to blunt impact on the head, meaning a bruise that called bleeding near the brain. Her death was extremely unusual since the injury is highly treatable, but there is in fact very little time to correct this.

Natasha Richardon was famous for her movie roles on such films like The Parent Trap, along with numerous other productions and Broadway appearances. She was survived by her husband, Liam Neeson, as well as her two young boys. The film and millions world wide will surely miss this inspirational actress whose life was cut so suddenly and short. This whole accident is proof that after a possibly the slightest fall, all head trauma should be monitored for the first 24 hours to prevent this horrific accident from ever occuring again.
