Amanda Bynes PSA: Tells Everybody to Stop Caring About Her Drama

Amanda Bynes is a pretty big deal right now. Her troubling and very public meltdown is 2013's equivalent of Charlie Sheen's #WINNING downturn.

It is only a matter of time before Bynes' coverage reaches media saturation, or something more pressing or absurd captures the attention of the public.

The upsetting reality is that Bynes is clearly going through a troubling phase. We, as consumers of her chaos, are making her meltdown a lucrative opportunity for media sites. The proof is in the numbers based on this graph from Google Trends. Maybe if we as a culture stopped paying attention to Bynes she will finally face the scary truth of her situation and seek out the help she needs.

Of course celebrity culture is not going anywhere with public celebrity meltdowns more amplified by social media and the Internet.

A pet, or a plant, or even a book is a definitely better use of our mind energy. And yet, this happened today:
