Lohan Family : the next reality T.V. show family we'll hate

The image “http://www.pvpd.net/images/photo3.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.This picture couldn't possibly illustrate it better. Michael Lohan, the drunk-driving, car-crashing, estranged father of Lindsay Lohan is trying to get a reality show made in order to completely showcase the disintegration of his family. It's like Jerry Springer, but for 50-100 million over two seasons. He's threatened his ex-wife if she doesn't participate, and seems to want to air all their dirty laundry for money.

We haven't talked much about Lindsay Lohan because most of her "press" comes from her drinking or partying or dating. H.O.P.E. has no problem with celebrites drinking, partying, or dating.

We draw the line at when celebrities (or their sisters and fathers) try to transform their fame (no matter how fleeting) into pedestrian entertainment. These people don't care what sort of entertainment they're presenting to the world, they care about the fact that they can get away with it. They throw lots of money at getting their faces back on TV for 15 more minutes, and who suffers?

We all suffer.
