Habitually, we elevate the opinion of someone unqualified because they are a household name for, well, being famous.
Mademoiselle McCarthy has as much right as the next parent to be wrong about something, but her point of view should have no more weight attached to it.

It's not about logic and facts. It's about identity. We all want to be Jenny McCarthy or her to be our girlfriend.
The medium is the message!
