Don't They Know When Enough's Enough?

It seems as if almost everyday brings with it worse news about the pop princess's personal affairs. One after another, she's had it all piling up: the custody battle for her kids, the reportedly lacklustre comeback performance at the MTV Awards, drug charges, losing the battle for her kids, being hospitalised...I'm not sure if I've even got all of it listed down.

What's really worrying and sickening is the way the media seems to make light of her problems. They report it as if it is nothing more than some kinda of sport. Local DJs are even worse, they make fun of her situation, e.g. Hitz.FM.

Don't these people realise that her spiral downwards is a clear cry for help? I don't know what Ms. Spears family and friends are doing to help her but the media could at least be more of a concerned watchdog than churning up news of her woes and making them into entertainment fodder. What is wrong with these people? Don't they see that she's probably suffering from post-partum depression (that is the only reason I can think of for her actions; and it all started to go wrong after the birth of her second child)? Doesn't the media realise that this is not a joking or laughing manner? If people can be considerate and concerned about their loved ones' health, can't they extend that concern, as common courtesy, to someone who so obviously needs help?

I find the snubbing and joking that some local DJs poke at Ms. Spears is totally uncalled for. These men should go out there and have a few kids themselves then try to make a comeback as the entertainment industry's pop princess. Let's see if they can manage that. Utter idiots they are. They should be taken off the air for their insensitivities.

As a new mother, I can only watch and listen in despair as this new mother herself digs herself deeper into her hole. Because I know that the ones who will suffer the worst from her 'episodes' and the custody battle are her two young sons. Any child does not deserve this. The mother of any child does not deserve such treatment from the public.
