I saw this story on socialitelife and I just had to blog about it......
Heidi and
Spencer joined Taco Bell for the second year for "World Hunger Relief Week" to help raise money for world hunger. Heidi and Spencer volunteered at a Los Angeles Taco Bell where they sold food to fans, took pictures and signed autographs which is all fine and expected. However, while promoting a cause
or a serious situation what would make them think that taking pictures like this is okay?!.....
While you can argue that they're "just pictures" and they have a right to take any kind of pictures they want at any time I would say that "yes, that you are correct" but there's a time and place for everything. You are promoting a serious cause! Every year hunger kills more people than war, tuberculosis and AIDS combined. Yet you're cuddled up eating a taco in short shorts with a fendi belt kicking up your snake skin booties Heidi!
This is not how you promote a serious cause! I think they both lack cooth and class and I seriously wonder when their five minutes of fame will be up.....
What really bothers me about Speidi is the fact that they are famous because of someone else. If it weren't for Lauren Conrad, neither one of them would be at all relevant. Yet, with every episode of the hills that airs, they are becoming richer and rich just from riding Lauren Conrad's coattails. It's a sad day in America when these are the kind of people your kids are idolizing. Sick.
The icing on the cake for me with Heidi and Spencer was Spencer's comment on the "Tyra Show" in April about adopting a child in Africa. When Spencer gleefully told Banks about his aspirations to adopt a kid in Africa and call him, "Dunk" he had this to say.....
QUOTE: "Cause I mean, this is when I was saying I wanna go to Africa and I wanna adopt an African and he’s gonna be very tall and he’s gonna be able to dunk . . . you know?"
When I heard Spencer say that, I was immediately disgusted. How disgusting and defamatory to talk about a child in the same likes as a pet. You would give this child, this life that you are responsible for this name because you automatically assume he'll be tall and good at basketball. Is it just me or does that sound racist? Or is it stereotypical? I just don't get it! It still amazes me how pig headed and ignorant some people are. I'm sure Spencer didn't even realize how disrespectful a statement he made, much like the one he's making with these pictures with Heidi.
If I could tell Heidi and Spencer one thing it would be this,
"Go get a job and get a life."
SMILE!
