MTV's "Don Vito" collapses after sex-assault conviction

MTV's "Don Vito" collapses after sex-assault conviction- The Denver Post-Ann Schrader
This article hit me when I read the title. This is because right before I went to the computer I was watching a show with Don Vito as one of the main characters. This show was called Viva la Bam. When I came in and saw the article title I was thinking to my self what has Don done again? Then I remember that he was sent to prison on accounts of sexual assault last year when he came to Denver. I did not realize that he was still in prison here in Colorado. This article talks about how Don fell on the floor after he herd what his sentence was. It was three to six years for the two accounts with minimum of ten years in probation. I was thinking to my self and what I was just watching on TV was a sexual assaulter. I thought and said can we really trust anyone on the TV today to act like a good person and to set a good role model? I think that I need to realize that I should not be taking after these actors and how they are acting. They are just showing who they really are and what they really do in life. I believe that this possible could relate to when parents are letting kids watch Don and then when they hear that he has done something bad on the news that they think he is a good role model because he is on the TV and what he does that they can do to others. I think that parents need to be making sure that their kids are not watching impropriate things on the TV.

I agree here. Because the people we see on t.v. and the way they act may not be who they really are. We build our own perspective of them and view them how we want, like Don Vito as an example. We may view him as some funny guy on t.v. who is just Babs uncle, but as we see now he actually is a child milester. Things aernt always what they seem, niether are people.
