It seems like an act of "relative righteousness" when the collective public deems some folks to be worthy of sympathy because of "troubled pasts", while it simultaneously creates pariahs out of others because of the perceived "severity" of their acts.
For example, that argument would sort of run along these lines: Persons A and B are both the by-products of troubled, abusive, upbringings. Now, Person A's "so-called" transgressions (vices) are perceived to be more severe in nature........thus, public sympathy will be inversely proportionate to the perceived severity of the offense.
Let any of these starlets commit what "John Q. Public" might deem to be a SERIOUS offense, and watch public sympathy sway from "poor Britney" to "hang her high!!!"
In all actuality, you're correct in your assertion that none of us have the moral right to "cast stones", subfever, but all of us are collectively guilty of worse things than feeling a little bit of giddy joy at seeing Lindsay Lohan's nubile girl-skin exposed on the silver screen.
