So the big story in the past couple of days is that two of the five from the pop teen heartthrob boy band, One Direction, Louis and Zayn, have been caught on video smoking a spliff.
Oh the horror! Two twenty-something-year-old guys having a casual joint! Because that doesn't occur on a daily basis everywhere in the world.
At no point am I condoning the use of marijuana, it is of course illegal in the UK, but is it really that surprising that two of the richest under 25-year-olds in the world are smoking weed? Rock bands of the 1960's would laugh in the face of One Direction and other 2014 celebs thinking they were so hard as to smoke a class C drug.
Yes, 1D are the idols and fantasies of millions of young girls, but so are Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus and yet no one at The Sun is reporting their use of marijuana. Then again, we are still waiting for one of One Direction to be arrested or gyrate with a massive foam finger.
The fact is that when your absolutely loaded and have forgotten what the word 'no' means, smoking a joint is nothing compared to what they could (and probably are) doing.
So lets not get caught up in the idea that this is the start of another clean cut celebrity meltdown until one of them is caught in a hotel room Rolling Stones style filled with smoke, hookers and cocaine.
This is simply two guys having the time of their lives being part of the most successful boy band of the 21st century, doing something that most guys and girls of the same age do. This, if anything, is their normality.
