    I like how every picture of her, she's got this wide-eye, totally taken-by-surprise expression.

    Since MTV made the decision to air the show, I think they should have made Adam's death at the hand of addiction a focal point. They need to make it clear that addiction is a chronic disease. Showing someone go through 30 days of rehab doesn't guarantee that a person is "cured." The general public doesn't understand this. Addiction is one of the only diseases that people feel ashamed for having. The first step to having society recognize it as any other medical disorder is to present all of the facts. MTV is denigrating Adam's work by not showing the whole picture. #djam

    Here we go again. If you think that MTV (or TLC, or ANY REALITY TV OUTLET) feels ANY responsibility whatsoever to its "stars" and the ramifications of their respective behavior, YOU ARE DANGEROUSLY NAIVE.

    We do not watch tightrope walkers to see them be successful. It's the potential spectacle of failure that draws us in. #djam

    For me, it's not a question of if someone dropped the ball, it's how could so many people drop the ball.

    If you start with the basic assumption that many of these people have encountered and dealt with addicts before (e.g. his manager who also manages Eminem, a man who has admitted drug problems), his show and death become a clusterfuck of malfeasance.

    The thing that I find most egregious about the way the people around DJ AM present this is that they act as if there were no signs even though his therapist, his manager, and all these other people are talking about how he started sweating while holding a crackpipe.

    How do you witness that and not apply the brakes? #djam

    It's upsetting to me to realize that Adam was the one who approached MTV, seemed pretty insistent on cashing in on the reality show gravy train. When they weren't interested in his initial pitch they came back with this. While we can cluck our tongues at MTV, we can't deny the type of personality that seems to be drawn to appearing in these shows. And it always ends badly... #djam

    Seems like Adam was too much a fragile spirit to host that show. Didn't know him personally but it was probably asking too much of his sobriety, especially after the plane accident.

    Having him pick up a crack pipe? Over the line, clearly. He was a crack addict and not fairing too well. Just looking
