30 silver pieces

I just read an article about how Miss Michigan won Miss America, edging out Miss Indiana. To be honest, as a result of the following response given by Miss Indiana, I'm glad. She doesn't deserve to win with such a ridiculous position on the important role models in the lives of our youth. Here are the article lifts:

"Producers added a twist to the interview portion, as well. They asked people on the street to pose questions, and the results were edgier than usual. Contestents were asked about binge drinking, HIV and Britney Spears' pregnant younger sister, Jamie Lynn."

"No I don't think she should be fired," Miss Indiana Nicole Elizabeth Rash said. "They're still people, they're still human beings. We all deserve second chances."


Since when were role-models given "second-chances" as being role-models without as much as a single rebuke by the public OR PUBLICLY REPENTING OF THEIR SINFUL ACTION? Society has the responsibility to not allow junk like this to get a positive rap. She's sixteen and so no one gets mad, they all try to protect her feelings...what about the 20 million kids around the United States...who is thinking about protecting them from making the same irresponsible, sinful decision? No one. The network should be ashamed of itself. Sixteen year old girl has sex with unmarried adult. Girl gets pregnant. Still not married......yeah Nickelodeon....you have completely compromised your principles...because the girl's show made you good money....that's what we, in the world of reality (where right and wrong exist alongside justice), like to call selling out...

One last question...how much did you get? 10, 15, 30 pieces?
