I agree with the sentiment, but not everyone wants to be famous.
thatsSoHufflepuff
Get your facebook bullshit out of here
NotTheRealNPH
It's almost like the media cares about money because they're a business!
kasaku
And you don't even give us the name of the person you think should be famous. Hilariously stupid.
Edutittam
How many times are you going to post this?
MatchGirlMegg
Also, just saying, some people(read: normal) don't want an audience for what is undoubtedly an excruciating, slow, and embarrassing process.
madvilllain
Stop watching the media that promotes dumb people.
MeatGlacier
"Man Wounded In War" isn't a headline you'd click, OP. I know it isn't one I'd click either.

You repost this in two days, with the same title even. Now I can tell that you are not only ignorant but point whoring as well.

Did you consider that Kyle Carpenter didn't want his privacy invaded during his recovery? Of course not, you fucking ingrate.

Odom never got over the death of his son and thats why he took to drugs, but let's keep shitting on a guy who's already down.
Ilikeyogurt
What happened to his son?
TheGhostOfHarambe
He died.
RhymesWithRock
Odom is a man who battled lifelong depression following the death of his mother, grandmother and an infant child. Stop being a cunt.
DwightKnight
Fuck off back to 9gag.

I'm going to be honest and say idk who either of these people are. But bravo to the first guy. And it's amazing that he survived.
Freudberg
then stop giving them your money. turn the damn tv off.

Don't shit on Lamar. He couldn't bring himself together after losing his kid.

Okay. I think that's fair. Good point by the way.

which of these two people generates revenue for a viable entity, though? sucks, but its the way of the world my friend

I side voted because I'm confused

Exploiting wounded soldiers as tools in arguments is so fucking scummy. Stop making stupid people famous? Stop exploiting the injured.
AlkeneThiol
Exactly. My sample size isn't huge but most military folks I know who have seen action don't even want publicity
VIAI
Sigh there's always this false equivalency argument...congrats you are THAT guy!
AlkeneThiol
It's always hilarious to me when arrogant people have zero idea what they are talking about. There is no false equivalence there.
graehall
False equivalency sucks, I really try to avoid it. I'm not sure how my argument is fairly categorised as such. I'd love to hear your opinion
BirdMcGuy
What if they did start making the injured famous would it promote people to take military jobs and be reckless for fame
tr3buchet
Welcome to like the entire history of men...
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
I literally joined the army for those reasons.
Otterhendrix
I totally didn't see it that way until reading your comment. But you're correct. +1 for that.
TChallaVanDam
Yeah, agreed.
gethiptothewiz
1.What do either have to do with each other

Sugarcrotch
thats what drugs are for arent they?
Rifneno
*shrug* I take the same stuff for pain relief that douchebags take to get high. Also helps with RLS, great cough suppressant & few others.
Sugarcrotch
so they get you high then
Rifneno
Nope, never been high in my life. Recreational doses are much higher than medicinal ones and I'm not wasting precious relief.
hoxanator
Don't be difficult. Also, fax me some of them pain relievers. Don't be difficult.

"Stop Making Stupid People Famous" - Post that spreads the fame of a stupid person.
SpoilFlunk
Being famous does not mean they are stupid. But yeah I agree, certain things are not news worthy
TaintedSpuds8
And a good guy. So I guess it evens out.
iamthisguy247
Especially considering this was something that happened months ago.

Well, tbh, I don't know who the guy on the right is. There's no name listed. I'm not going to bother looking him up, either.

Who cares about basketball anyways

Lamar Odom was already famous before the drug stuff that's why it was news
Asadachi
Who? nm, don't really want to know, just trash fuel
trufigure
Lamar Odom is a weird name for a white guy...
Tywinning
Small sidenote but y'know what I find odd? 3500 upvotes to 500 downvotes and yet most comments are having a go at OP. Just an observation.
prismbear
also being Khloe Kardashians husband kinda accelerated it into the tabloids etc
BubblesSayingDecent
Its like moaning about why the news shows mostly bad stuff, because that's news. They can't report on everything that went right that day.
GuyInTheBack
Based on that logic, it would take 2 grenades to the face to get noticed
januskincaid
Yes, but not at the same time.
andaction
Lamar Who? Is he on of those Kardashian boy toys?
McAllisterFawkes
He's a basketball player. Also yes.
andaction
My life is complete.
worldsokayestspeler
Still a dumb person made famous
rollercostarican
He was an already famous person who went through depression after his son died
Daelf93
He made himself famous through playing basketball. Can we call him a dumb person? Or is he just a broken man suffering through depression?
Daelf93
As for the Kyle Carpenter, he was awarded a medal of honor. He is famous for his heroic action, and has been invited to many talk shows 1/2
Daelf93
He will most likely have a movie made for him and there are many people begging him to sign a book deal.
Starcatcher1986
Yes, but what was he famous for? Being good at a game?
Goatdangles
Yes
tdtommie33
He's famous for playing a game that our service men provide the freedom for. Without guy on left, guy on right wouldn't be famous.
Counterfit
Jesus Christ could you hero worship any fucking harder? There might be a Marine that hasn't jizzed yet.

You don't think killing people in Iraq gives us freedom do you?
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
yes. If you had a skill few had, that many wanted to see & worked hard at it your whole life, you too could be famous for that.
NotTheRealNPH
And made a net revenue of millions of dollars just on your own which in turn the media could make a huge profit off of.
NotRapefortheWilling
Just modern age gladiator matches for the masses. Basketball and football aren't really any sports anymore. To much politics. Hockey ftw
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
Hockey has sensationalized the violence of the sport too much. There's a fight like every game now.
NotRapefortheWilling
And your point is?

It doesn't have to be either/or. I support the military but enjoy sports and can celebrate those who've reached the heights of sport.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
As a combat vet, I don't get your point. Only combat vets should be famous?
knowzaan
Pretty dumb you're getting downvotes for a legitimate question. I didn't know he was famous before this at all, nor cared.
NotRapefortheWilling
Welcome to imgur I'll up vote ya
knowzaan
I appreciate the contrary attitude
NotRapefortheWilling
RusselNash
Yeah, because if I don't like or care about something it's stupid and irrelevant.
knowzaan
Pretty typical view. My mistake, drug addicted prima donnas should be valued for their ability to fuck untalented women

If lamar odom threw himself on a grenade, we would also know about it. Also he's famous for being skillful and hardworking in an exciting -

ThisAccountIsMainlyForUpvoting
Recreationally outraged is the perfect description.
Sugarcrotch
but my hobby is being outraged at stupid shit.. what do i do now?
ThisAccountIsMainlyForUpvoting
Do what makes you happy.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
Yeah, it's like half the Internet
DontL0seYourWay
I believe that everyone on the internet that gets outraged should watch S03E06 of Black Mirror and learn to shut the fuck up.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
shitty points sound more meaningful. 4/4
Darkspire
Excellent takedown. I am having some suspension of disbelief with the username though.
JimJonesKoolAidSurvivor
All I know about lamar odom is that he loves hookers and crack. Is he a famous badminton player?
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
good for you

Also I say also a lot when making long points in 140 character bursts.

MostOfImgurGenerallyPissesMeOff
I think you respect this lamar guy too much, I mean he doesn't seem all that great if he got drugged the fuck up in a whorehouse.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
That sounds pretty fun.
