Hollywood values

The phrase Hollywood values refers to the lack of morals and values in Hollywood culture, which has led to rampant drug use, extramarital sex, disease and death. 60% of Americans agree that "Hollywood's values are not in line with the rest of America and that the quality of movies has dimished in recent years."

Hollywood values can include a disrespect for:

• marriage
• patriotism
• religion
• accountability

Political correctness, at least publicly, is a central part of Hollywood values.

Hollywood values are deadly. Some examples include:

• Heath Ledger, 28, found dead naked in his Manhattan apartment. "Prescription sleeping pills and [Valium] were found in bottles in Ledger's bedroom and bathroom, and police have speculated the death was caused by an accidental drug overdose." A rolled up $20 bill was reportedly also found near the body, although drug tests reportedly tested negative for drug residue.
• River Phoenix, 23, a huge star until he died from an overdose cocaine and heroin.
• Brad Renfro, 25, became addicted to heroin and was found dead after a night of drinking.
• Kurt Cobain, 27, "turned to drugs and alcohol to help him cope," then committed suicide.
• John Belushi, age 33, was a repeated drug abuser who ultimately died of a lethal injection of cocaine and heroin.
• Sid Vicious, 21, overdosed on heroin obtained from his mother.
• Jim Morrison, 27, died of an apparent heroin overdose
• Jimi Hendrix, 27, drank wine, took sleeping pills, and asphyxiated on his own vomit.

Hollywood values often include stealing and committing other crimes. Here are some examples:

• Winona Ryder was convicted of convicted of vandalism and grand theft for stealing designer merchandise worth $5,560.40.
• O.J. Simpson is widely believed to have murdered his wife and her friend, and was found liable in a civil (but not criminal) trial. He has since been arrested again.
• Paris Hilton was convicted of driving while intoxicated, and then violated the terms of her probation, leading to a 45-day prison sentence.
