- Sometimes Things Happen For a Reason -

So I was reading CNN News and came across an interesting article....

An obese actor volunteered to a photo shoot that paid $500.  So the actor signs a waiver for alteration and distribution. He later finds his photo on an ad for diabetes awareness. One of the actors legs was photo-chopped, to represent the loss of limb, a common horror associated with diabetics. After the actor saw his photo he cried and was upset about the use of his photo, how it would effect his acting career. The actor then said that he would lower his acting fees to seek revenge professionally by seeking to advertise for a soda company.

First of all, if the actor didn't want his pictures altered then he should have not have signed the waiver. Secondly, since this ad hits so close to home for him, maybe he should heed the message and think about the BIG PICTURE... Diabetes is a huge issue in the U.S. Many people die every year and dude doesn't look far from being a statistic if he doesn't change his lifestyle. Even if that ad just changes one persons lifestyle to take better care of themselves, the ad has done its job and that's worth more than one crybaby so-called actor (who still has both legs) and $500. If the actor would just change his attitude about the ad to supporting it he wouldn't have to worry about his acting career.  I believe people would thank him for the shoot, especially those whose limbs were lost due to diabetes, who want to make people aware, and wish their issue was somebody photo-chopping there leg.   
 Is it a sign.... I thinks so. 
The fact that he's pissed about this is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!
