Make mine a double

This is going to be brief because I'm working on another essay right now. This morning I was listening to the radio and the DJs were discussing Johnny Depp's appearance at the premier of "The Rum Diaries." Apparently he was very drunk, stumbling around and generally being a fool. The DJs found nothing wrong with this. In fact, it was amusing to them. There was another incident in 2006 when Danny Devito appeared on The View visibly intoxicated and admitted to staying up all night, drinking limoncello with George Clooney. The press treated it as a hilarious joke. No one thought that he should go into rehab or that either was in a serious state of trouble. As with Johnny Depp, it was treated as one of those things that happens from time to time. I'm not sure if you picked up on it, but both of those people are MEN. When female celebrities stumble around acting ridiculous, even when they're out having fun and not at a professional event, the tone of the reporting is seriously judgmental. The reports might not explicitly say that they need to go to rehab but there is certainly prim disapproval. It seems like a double standard. But that's just me.
