When celebs stop by to say hi

[adventure_rn]

So, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and some other random celebrities I've never heard of hit up the Peds hospital at Tufts to promote the all-ladies remake of Ghostbusters.

Apparently a bunch of people are really pissed, mainly saying its exploiting children who have never heard of Ghostbusters and obviously don't give a flying fart.

Yay?

Or nay?

My husband.

This picture makes me sick. You can tell the child isn't feeling well/isn't happy, doesn't care for the celebs & the celebs are just there for publicity. That makes me sick. I'd be more impressed with a celeb going to visit sick children & not dragging along cameras, just doing it to make the kid(s) happy. But then we wouldn't all know about it. *rolls eyes*

My friend didn't know who he was. I showed her a picture before class and her "dayum" echoed through the classroom

This isn't child exploitation. This is very similar to calling constructive criticism "bullying" or referring toilet seat etiquette as "sexual harassment."

You want child exploitation? Child slave labor meets that definition.

As a big fan of Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, I have to say that seems pretty lame and exploitative to me.

Also I seriously hope Chris Hemsworth wears those ridiculous glasses in the remake that the secretary wore in the original Ghostbusters.

I have no idea what a Kristen wig is, but what I like about the children's hospitals in Portland and Seattle is that famous and semi-famous people come by so often it never makes news. That guy from the Seahawks everyone loves/hates, the Portland Trail Blazers, Macklemore, the cast of TV shows or movies filmed in either city... I never recognize any of them but people are constantly pointing out people in the Starbucks on the ground floor and telling me they're famous. I think it's cool that they come, and also cool that they just seem to do it because it makes kids happy, 'cause they're not getting any publicity from it.*

* The cynic in me thinks they may do it knowing photos appearing on Facebook will still be seem by hundreds or possibly thousands of people through shares and what not, but that's a small, cynical part of me that's still upset they cancelled Backstrom and Leverage.

I'm going to have to talk with public relations about this! No one but sick people ever come to see us!

[CrunchBerries]

I never heard of any of them so in my world they aren't celebs, they are just odd people dressed funny.

True, it isn't child exploitation, but it IS self-serving and ridiculous.

..."toilet seat etiquette"?? 💩😱
