Vanessa Hudgens VS Dane Cook

Now, we've all established a thousand million years ago that Vanessa Hudgens isn't as innocent as her bookish on screen alter ego, Gabriella. Nude pics of her was leaked sometime ago, and just when we all thought she'd finally turn over a new leaf, she once again shocks (more like pleasantly surprised) the entertainment world with 'This is what Zac is getting', round 2. Okay, so everyone knows she's an idiot, firstly for taking those pictures and then for allowing them to be leaked. Hollywood clearly doesn't receive any news from its Asian counterpart, or dear Edison's tragic little story would have taught her something.

At the recent Teen Choice Awards, Dane Cook (some pathetic loser that nobody even knew existed) was on stage, and he was calling out for Vanessa. She gleefully waved at him, thinking someone was finally going to say something nice about her. The whole thousand strong crowd turned their attention at her, some even cheered. The crass and immature nonsense that spewed out of his mouth, however, was "You gotta keep your clothes on, man." The poor girl's expression immediately changed, and as strange as it seems, I actually felt a bit for the little slut.

So she has her entire naked body leaked onto the internet for the world to enjoy. Does that justify humiliating her in front of thousands of kids just for his 30 seconds of fame? What has he accomplished by first calling her out and then shaming her, other than to get himself onto all the entertainment stories? Well, he certainly has succeeded, but does he stop to think about how much he has hurt her? She may be an idiot, but she certainly has feelings too. Sure, Nickelodeon has cut that scene from TV, but it's rampant everywhere online. To mention her by name, point her out in a crowd, and then dump that kind of shit on her is beyond despicable. It actually did break my heart a little.

Do people have no empathy anymore? His joke wasn't even remotely tasteful, or humorous. They always talk about 'comic timing' in comedy. It's the timing that was important, and clearly, that wasn't the time, nor the place, to be bringing up the many skeletons in her closet. Some even say she deserves it. I wouldn't argue with you if you say she deserves being stripped (interesting choice of words) of her 'role model' status for Disney kids. But does she deserve such public humiliation? No one does. No one is going to defend her actions, because what she has done is obviously wrong, but are Dane Cooks' actions any more morally upright than hers?

Grow up, Dane. Seriously.
