"Lindsay's Crazy Life"

As depicted in the cartoon, the only person that is concerned with Lindsay Lohan’s wellbeing is a strange, old woman, opposed to the large younger fan base she used to have. Since she has continually been making poor decisions, everyone that used to look up to her as a successful young star, are no longer her followers. This picture also shows that the average American is more concerned with celebrities in the media than our war heroes. This is shown by the caskets with American flags draped over them and the text “who cares”. American citizens should care a lot more about our soldiers willing to give their lives for the country than an immature celebrity who gets in a drunk accident with a light post. The car crash tells us a few things. First, the Mercedes and wine, both a nice car and nice alcohol, show that she has a lot of money. Lindsay is not actually in the cartoon, conveying that she is above the law and the rules don’t really apply to her. Lastly, crashing into a light post shows how it is completely her fault.
