"Strange how we pick and choose who to hate!" he continued, in a series of posts which have now been deleted. "Let me ask u this. Our society is full of rappers (which I listen to) who have sold drugs (poisoning). … But yet we glorify them and imitate everything they do.

Kate Upton may be
on the cover of
Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, but don't expect the 19-year-old model to be walking the runway for Victoria's Secret anytime soon!
Victoria's Secret's casting director Sophia Neophitou told
The New York Times, "We would never use [Ms. Upton for a Victoria's Secret show]," adding that the choice would be "too obvious."
Despite the fact that Upton has reportedly modeled for VS before, Neophitou continues, "She's like a Page 3 girl. She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy."
Ouch! Do you think Kate is hot enough to be a VS Angel? Or do you agree with Neophitou's harsh comments?
