Dear Hollywood celebrities, It’s time to wake up.

Get this! The only reason you exist is for my entertainment.

Some of you are beautiful.

Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes.

Some of you are so convincing that you scare the crap out of me.

And others are so funny you can make me laugh uncontrollably.

But you all have one thing in common.

You only exist and have a place in my world to entertain me.

That’s it. Nothing else!

You make your living pretending to be someone else.

You play dress-up like a 5-year-old.

Your world is a make believe world. It is not real. It doesn’t exist.

You live for the camera while the rest of us live in the real world.

Your entire existence depends on my patronage.

I crank the organ grinder, and you dance.

Therefore, I don’t care where you stand on issues.

Honestly, your opinion means nothing to me.

Just because you had a lead role in a movie about prostitution doesn’t mean you know what it’s like to be a prostitute.

Your view matters far less to me than that of a someone living in Timbuktu.

Believe me or not, the hard truth is that you aren’t real.

I turn off my TV or shut down my computer, and you cease to exist.

Once I am done with you, I go back to the real world until I want you to entertain me again.

I don’t care that you think BP executives deserve the death penalty.

I don’t care what you think about the environment.

I don’t care if you believe fracking is bad. I don’t care if you call for more gun control.

I don’t care if you believe in catastrophic human-induced global warming.

And I could care less that you supported Hillary for President.

Get back into your bubble.

I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something pretty or scary or funny.

And one other thing. What was with all this “I’ll leave the country if Donald Trump wins”?

Don’t you know how stupid that made you sound?

What did you think my reaction was going to be?

I better not vote for Trump or we’ll lose Whoopi Goldberg? Al Sharpton? Amy Schumer? Leave.

I don’t care!

And don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Make me laugh. Make me cry. Even scare me.

But realize this, the only words of yours that matter is scripted — just like your pathetic little lives.

I may agree with some of you from time to time, but in the final analysis, it doesn’t matter.

In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.

So, shut your mouth and dance, monkey, DANCE!

All citizens have the right to their opinions and the right to speak up about them. This includes actors as well as the person who wrote this.

"In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment."

Well, in my world, you exist only as an insect to be swatted away.

This article rings very true. However, even actors are citizens too and deserve to speak their mind just as we do. I do think that living pretty much a sheltered "pretend" life does skew the perspective since they are so fawned over they really don't see the strife of the common folk.

This needs to be put on television.

6:57, I am of the same mind set. I have lost a lot of favorite actors through their dumb a-s remarks. It has gotten to the point I will google the subject and if they are left wing nut jobs, I will refuse to watch. My wife said I'm running out of things to watch, but that's fine mostly trash anyway.

Wow. Judge much? So why don't YOU run for office instead of putting down others who do?
