Everyone exploits themselves or others.. that is what teh free market is about. Bill Gates exploits tons of programers to make himselfa billionaire - however he pays these people well.
I think exploitation is ugly when people see things like with Anna Nicole. I do not blame her, she is making easy money for doing nothing. It is the public who demand these kinds of shows...
I do not know what the solution is, but society has definately degraded the past 50 years...
I would have made a good Anna Nicole, I am fat, I can get a blonde wig, and I can gets drunk and act obnoxios!
