Ashton Kutcher on living a good life and the value of work

I worked in Omaha for eight years; and Kutcher being from Iowa, some of those crappy jobs he told me reminded me of a lot of the old jobs my co-workers had in those ag states with no colleges or corporate/professional opportunities: meat-packing, detasseling. Not owning any land he could have easily been doing that crap well into his thirties.

 

I think he was trying to associate the word "sexy" with generally positive words, such as "good, smart, right."

Such as: "Investing in _____ is the sexy thing to do right now, because it's low risk / high reward." Obviously, there's nothing sexual intended in that sentence. But rather, "sexy" was used as a synonym for good, smart, and right.

I don't have kids. But to me, I would think there are a lot worse things to say / messages to get across than using the word "sexy," especially coming from a prominent figure in young adult media.

 

^ Good points all around, and I understand, but we don't generally have to worry about an award recipient saying worse words than "sexy." I just don't agree he should have used it and didn't like that. Kids don't have to hear that word, much less on a NICKELODEON show.

 

Being smart, caring, and generous could be seen as sexy.

Nice message by Chris. The few hatin on him in this thread need to get off their high horse. Nobody is perfect. I am not either. It doesn't mean we're not allowed to give advice to others.
