Are you kidding me? Brad Pitt is in amazing physical shape in that picture. If guys took steps to look like that, the world would be a better place. Instead we have the biggest overweight problem in North America. So no, I don't think celebrities have that much in the way of moral responsibilities. Everyone is responsible for their own lives. The people on TV are less real than the people around you. Every kid should grow up with an understanding of this. It's the parents job to make them understand.

It's not fair to make celebs responsible for their actions when they mean no harm and are just enjoying their lives in the way they see fit. It's unethical. It's unethical to follow them the way paparazzi do already. If I draw a picture of a dick in an electric socket and put it on my lawn, and my neighbor's teenage son, who looks up to me, though I don't even speak to him, gets into a little accident with his genitals, is it my fault?
