WHEN IT COMES TO SHAWN: HOW LOW CAN TMZ GO?

This is yet another hate filled article from the bastards at TMZ.com, a web site completely made up of people who are total wastes of human flesh. In this case, they take a wonderful person like Olympic gold metal gymnast Shawn Johnson, and publicize the fact she bares a slight (and I do mean slight) resemblance to the puppet Topo Gigio. Completely unfair, and not clever, or amusing. I am very happy to say that once they put this on their web site, thousands of readers sent e-mails of protest to TMZ, and they pulled it from their site.

But they couldn't stop there. They had to continue their barrage of hate against Shawn, for this Ortega taco television commercial. Admittedly a low budget production with questionable copy for these superstar athletes to recite. However, for TMZ to go after 16 year old Shawn for the unfortunate script ("it makes my taco pop"), and in such a profane and vulgar way is despicable.
Shawn Johnson has done nothing to you but put the face on the Beijing Olympics, with displays of sportsmanship and dedication to her sport. She is the all-American girl of the Olympics, and for a web site to make such efforts to tear down one of the few true heroes for our children is reprehensible, and uncalled for. We need to reward our children's heroes, not tear them down. Shawn Johnson stands for something sorely missing in our world today, someone with character and morals. Someone parents would be proud their children chose to emulate. With all of the unfortunate child stars on the scene today worthy of your attention, please leave Ms. Johnson alone. She doesn't deserve it, and neither does the nation who fell in love with her this Olympic season. Let's hope Shawn finds what her earrings represent....peace.
