Now that I've dropped out, why is life dreary dreary?

So let me get this straight: Kanye West is excoriated--Pink called him the "biggest piece of shit on earth" (on earth*!)--for essentially, interrupting an awards show and hurting the feelings of a voting adult. Michael Jackson, who went to court (albeit dressed as Cap'n Crunch, TM Chris Rock) and stood trial--don't even get me started. But Roman Polanski? He fugitived for our sins.

*These ladies were like, you're right, Pink. What a jerk.
