Is the AP really that stupid? Do they REALLY believe that when 20,000 no-talent doofuses come to LA every year and fail to become stars, that society is at fault?
Now that I think about it, there is something hopeful and maybe even good about this story. These kids may have gone about it the wrong way and not know when or how to get out, when they don't succeed. But they at least had the guts to take a stab at their dreams.
