Saw a Reuters’ headline that Sister Sledge Visited the UK Parliament to talk against guns, or something like that. I just skimmed the article. But my God, Sister Sledge in the headlines? Aren’t they more like “Grandma Sledge”? And the cute little lead singer, does she still have braces? Because I think that was a large part of the group’s appeal.
I know that people dump on celebs for getting political; I personally don’t see what the big deal is. It seems to me that the problem people have is not that the celebs are political, but that the press picks up on it and splashes their faces and the stories across the newspaper.
Anyway, I’ve got to say that putting Sister Sledge in the headlines, for whatever reason, is absolutely mind-boggling. Who at Reuters decided that we even care?
