TMZ Drinks the "Shawn Johnson" Haterade

61. How in the world named her "America's Sweetheart"? She does look like a little rat.

Get over yourselves with this complaining. She's an athlete. She isn't Mother Teresa.

62. I FOUND THE POST FUNNY AND TRUE. I DONT THINK TMZ SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT DOWN. JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE CANT LIGHTEN UP. PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF MILEY ALL THE TIME AND MOST THE TIME PEOPLE DONT CARE BUT NO SINCE SHE WON GOLD SHES A BIG DEAL. WELL SHE WISHES SHE WAS.

63. Hey if she looks like a rat, talks like a rat, she must be Topogio. Who cares if people complained. Put it back up don't lose your pride over some little snot punk jumps from bar to bar and opens her legs. It's not even her dream, mommy and daddy wanted to get rich so they enlisted her.

64. I read this post about TMZ taking down the original post where they compared Shawn Johnson to a rat. However as I scrolled through subsequent pages the original post IS STILL THERE! So what is it TMZ, you either took it down or you didn't?
You should all be ashamed of yourselves for making fun of a young girl who at 16 has accomplished more than most of you will in your whole despicable lives.

67. its pretty funny how someone will say to not make fun of someone because they have, in the writers mind, worked harder than Miley Cyrus.

Its funny yuou can put someone down when you are complaining about TMZ putting down someone.

Dont you think that is a little hypocritcal.

The fact is, you are mad because its a young girl. isnt Miley Cyrus still a young girl?

Self righteous assholes should really think before they fire off a "mad" email.

68. The point is that she is a young girl who loves her sport and did her best for her country. Young girls in this country have enough problems trying to conform to what all you "entertainment" gurus tell them should be beautiful, while many people might have found this comparison funny, I doubt she did. Who would think it was funny that they were compared to a rat-no matter how "cute" that rat is. People who have done nothing wrong shouldn't be subject to this for our silly entertainment. It may seem like nothing to some of you, but I doubt most of us, especially those in their teens, would think it was funny if it was us.

70. In a time where 15 year olds try to be 30 year olds and a U.S. hit is "I Kissed a Girl and I Like it", SJ is an inspiration that there is still hope for the future generations. There is enough nonsense out there to write about that we all flock to read, so to post a comparison that some might find offensive is nothing more than hope in increasing publicity of TMZ, so congrats they have succeeded. It sad becuase an Olympian, in my mind, has more talent than most "celebrities" and here instead of being proud Americans we poke fun. I have a hard time thinking other countries are doing the same thing to their gold medalists.........

71. Shawn Johnson has out classed TDZ.com. She deserves our respect for her dedication and performance in the games. Her smile and love of America out classed TDZ.com.

Jessica when you have a man you don't have to talk about it...he will show up to prove to all that he's with you. And checking his phone was a sign of your insecurity.

72. this shawn johnson thing was really dispicable. i will continue to watch your show because i am easily entertained, but you should really post some kind of apology or I know...maybe start the 'Shawn Johnson Humanitarion of the Day Award' for your show. Ha. Just a thought. But come on guys...............little kids?

74. F***ing hilarious, TMZ! Making fun of a public figure is called satire, pure and simple. And she DOES look like topo gigio. How cute is that little thing? A 16-YO is not a child anymore, either. I can't believe these sheep that read your site got so offended at the post. Seriously people, get over yourselves.

75. I hope everybody at TMZ rots in hell. You guys are worthless scum!!!
