Is he a FUCKING expert??

I don't get why people ever, EVER listen to celebrities about anything at all. I mean seriously... These people get their points of view from doing "research" for movies and TV shows. I'm sure many know about the Tom Cruise rant against psychology/psychiatry. His arguments all stem from the fact that he "knows the history of psychiatry" and that we don't. C'mon Tom...

Another gem from hollywood that I love is a clip from Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's show where he tells the world why he believes that brushing his teeth is bad. Actually, what he goes on to say is that since animals don't brush their teeth, why should he? So, in light of that brilliant observation that no doctor, dentist, nurse or dental hygienist has EVER come up with (probably because it is completely ridiculous) he declares that he only brushes his teeth every few days. Are you kidding me? I'm sure that a bunch of little fan girls then decided his wisdom was well founded and that they should heed the advice of the mighty BSB. Had he ever thought of looking at a dogs' teeth to see what happens when animals don't brush? My dogs' breath stinks. AND his teeth are yellow around the edges. Like real yellow. And the only reason they aren't worse is that he is constantly chewing on bones and the like which actually acts as a toothbrush. Not to mention animal physiology is just a little different than that of a human, and that they have probably evolved mechanisms to cope with tooth decay that we never did, or no longer have. Maybe because my pets all lick their own asses I should forget about toilet paper and save some trees by licking mine. OR maybe I could go all out and start drinking from puddles too. Oh wait... that would mean that I was ignoring the fact that dogs have stomach acid which is much lower in pH than our own, as well as much shorter digestive tracts which help them deal with pathogenic bacteria in the nasty, nasty crap they eat and drink. Shit. Back to the drawing board.

Seriously, moral of the story here, just because someone makes a million dollars a week doesn't mean they have the right answer for anything at all. Don't listen to Tom and Nick. Open a book or google it for god's sake.
