Need A Comeback, Go To Rehab

Let's just all check into Rehab. It seems to be the hip thing to do today. Did something stupid? Go to rehab! Screwed up? Go to Rehab! It cheapens the whole reason it exists.

Britney Spears checked back into rehab today...perhaps she needs to, but I've noticed the endless parade of celebrities and other newsworthy individuals entering rehab. Lindsay Lohan goes to rehab at the ripe old age of 20, as does Miss USA Tara Conner for just doing what girls normally do anyway.

Former Congressman Mark Foley who went from chasing teenage boys to suddenly becoming an alcoholic. Mel Gibson, who tried to use liquor to disguise his anti-Semitism, then go to rehab.

Rehab is there to help people with real problems, not for celebrities who screwed up and want to make themselves look better in the public eye. It cheapens rehab, makes it look like a waiting room for comebacks.

This is the only Britney Spears post, I swear.
