Chipping Away at the Morality Tree

First we had Martha Stewart,..now the latest to swing the axe is (c)rap artist Lil Kim.

Its bad enough that these people lied to save their asses. It was great to see them both get nailed for sticking to their fabricated stories - it taught our children that lying is wrong.

Now, it seems, that is you're a celebrity and you lie (AND get caught), you can cash in on it, too! More bread-and-circuses from the MSM reality division!!

What lesson is this teaching our children, and what does it say about our society? Crime REALLY does pay?
