above the radar

A reprobate form of

1. Thinking in popular culture
2. Behavior in an individual
3. Or both

Typically seen when an individual who is idealized and highly esteemed behaves badly, but rather than being held accountable for their bad behavior, is instead held to even higher esteem based upon their cultural renown. Within this superficial double-standard, the individual is viewed as edgy, courageous, or even being 'real,' when in fact it is the same bad behavior that is punished or criticized in others.
Dennis Rodman doesn't just fly above the radar, he LIVES there. Since he was kicked off the Celebrity Apprentice for public lewdness and intoxication, everybody thinks the show blows! They say, "without him, it's nothing."
