crackheads gone wild...have u seen it? OMG...just so sad...i can't even fake jacks. i watched it the other night and i laughed my ass off. but, i swear, i was very ashamed on the inside.

i didn't judge those people because i know there was something terrible that happened in their lives, or something that was missing, some type of void they tried to fill, that made them start this often deadly, always destructive habit. we've all had this happen to us, we just made a different choice in how we would handle it; a different coping mechanism. a few seconds in time and a critical decision is all that sets us apart...think about it.

in a fox news report, the producer of crackheads gone wild, daryl smith, claims he's just trying to show people what happens if you do drugs, mission accomplished. in the "documentary," it's stated that they're just trying to educate people, each time i heard that, i though to myself, "riiiight." i don't know what happened off camera, but i know that on camera, there was no information provided to the addicts on places they could go to get help, or any other type of resource offered to them.

just one question, is it even legal for them to get a release from people who are under the influence of a controlled substance?? how much did they get paid to appear on film?? what did they do with the money?? was any of the money made from the film donated to some time of recovery or drug rehabilitation program??

sad. sad. S.A.D.
