but my take is this: Johnny isn't hurting anyone by going shopping


But this is the point I was trying to make.

Johnny is hurting Johnny.

I appreciate that he's got to the stage of being able to splurge on stuff that he's never had before, and also that many other skaters have done exactly the same thing, but sadly he's doing it with so much attention on him that it's all working against him.

I'm trying to be cerebral, as much as it gives me a head-ache.

1. The money he so ostentatiously spends actually comes from his tour-performances which are funded by a sadly diminishing audience of primarily Mums and Dads (the latter being reluctantly dragged along apparently), who may wonder about just where their bucks are going, and whether they could be better spent.

2. Potential fans, especially of the male type, have only to see a TV clip of JWe doing one of his 'Johnny Goes Shopping' clips and they will 'change channels' forever. They will never get to see what he's all about.

Believe me, there is nothing that I would rather see than Johnny being a world champion but he's at at a cross-roads in his career. I hope for the best.
