A Letter to Hollywood

[Kathryn Ball]

 I Received this from a friend....pretty much sums up how I and many other people think abbout Hollywood and its silly residents!

Dear Hollywood,

 

It's time to wake up now.  Get this!  The only reason you exist is for ‘our’ entertainment.

 

Some of you are beautiful. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to ‘our’ eyes. Some of you are so convincing that you scare the crap out of us. And others are so funny you can make us laugh uncontrollably.

 

But you all have one thing in common.  You only exist and have a place in my world to entertain ‘us’. That's it. Nothing else!

 

You make your living pretending to be someone else. You play dress-up like a 5-year-old. Your world is a make believe world.  It is not real.  It doesn't exist.  You live for the camera while the rest of us live in the real world. Your entire existence depends on ‘OUR’ patronage.  We crank the organ and you dance.  Therefore, we don't care where you stand on issues.

 

Honestly, your opinion means nothing to us. Just because you had a lead role in a movie about prostitution doesn't mean you know what it's like to be a prostitute.  Your view matters about as much to us as that of a someone living in Timbuktu.

 

Believe me or not, the hard truth is that you aren't real. We leave the theater, turn off our TV or shut down our computer and you cease to exist. Once we are done with you, we go back to the real world until we want you to entertain us again.

 

We don't care that you think BP executives deserve the death penalty. We don't care what you think about the environment.  We don't care if you believe fracking is bad.  We don't care if you call for more gun control. We don't care if you believe in catastrophic human-induced global warming. And we couldn't care less that you supported Hillary for President.

 

Get back into your bubble. We'll let you know when we’re in the mood for something pretty or scary or funny.

 

And one other thing.  What was with all this "I'll leave the country if Donald Trump wins"?  Don't you realize how stupid that made you sound?

 

What did you think our reaction was going to be?  We better not vote for Trump or we'll lose Whoopi Goldberg?  Al Sharpton?  Amy Schumer? 

 

Leave.  We don't care! And don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.  Good riddance !!  We were hoping you’d leave and soon.

 

Make us laugh.  Make us cry. Even scare us. But realize this, the only words of yours that matter is scripted — just like your pathetic little lives.

 

We may agree with some of you from time to time, but in the final analysis, it doesn't matter. In our world, you exist solely for our entertainment.

 

You don’t really matter to us..........So, shut your mouth and dance, monkey, dance!
