Outline
For this filterblog, I didn't go in to it with any set ideas of topics I wanted to follow. I decided instead to go to the NZ Herald site to begin with and see if any articles jumped out at me. The feature article was about Chris Brown's sentencing over his abuse of ex-girlfriend Rihanna. I read it over and saw the light sentence he came away with and was quite angry with the law system for letting him basically get away with it. That got me onto the topic of special treatment that celebrities recieve when they break the law, such as sentencing for crimes, or relaxed rehab schedules. So none of this "Don't you know who I am?" when they can't get a reservation at a restaurant kind of shit though.

Good idea for your blog - not sure about the crazy red font on blue background tho.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the font :) Very interesting topic. I think it'll work well cos this type of issue strikes a chord in everyone as we don't believe the treatment they egt and the expectation these celebrities have. We constantly see these people getting off drunk driving charges, assault charges, it's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteSorry bout the font. I wasn't planning on leaving it like this. I was just playing around with the layout and then I signed out and forgot about it haha much apologies
ReplyDeleteThis is a great topic! There are so many examples to look at, and because they are celebrities most of these examples are very well documented.
