Sad part is that this helps with her popularity.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

The more it is talk about the better it is. It is a lot like things were back a half a century ago with the town drunk, the town bad girl or even, sad to say, the town lady that was hurt by her husband. People would talk about it and sometimes even abate the problem. Say buy a bottle for the man with the drinking problem or not do anything to help the abused lady. The town seem to revile in these cases and would say how bad it was, but never really do anything about it.

Now in the 21st. century we have Lohan. Her clam to fame is doing things like this and we revel in it. She will never get help or straiten up as long as we keep using her as a guilty pleasure.
