I hate superficial celebrities...
If I am forced to listen to one more word about Britney Spears or Anna Nicole, I am hanging myself. And, odds are, I'll be swinging from the rafters in about five minutes.
Why can't we shut up about this? Let's just stop paying attention to all this shit as a nation and maybe it'll go away! Why are you people so fascinated with Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Madonna, Brad Pitt? And yet, as soon as an intelligent one opens their mouths and offers an educated opinion on world events or the state of politics, you just want them to shut up when they don't agree with you. So, you'll buy their perfumes, the jeans, and the sneakers - but opinions and politics? Don't waste your time with those, buddy!
I hate to be cliche and say what has been said a million times over, but aren't people dying in an unnecessary war? Wasn't the stock market in some trouble last week? Aren't more than just a couple pretty white kids being abducted everyday? Don't worry...that stuff is nonsense. When Britney Spears screams that she's the Antichrist, our cameras will be there!
Someone I work with at one of my jobs called a little bit ago to make sure we all knew that Spears had tried to commit suicide. THANK GOD! I'm not sure I could have made it until lunch without another celebrity update! Suicide is no joke, and I'm not trying to make light of it. But how does that impact my day? If she dies, will I curl up in bed and be unable to work for weeks, finally succumbing to the darkness all around me? Hell, no. I'm not saying she should do it. She's a human being, but she influences me in no way other than at one time she inhabited many of my adolscent fantasies. That's about it.
Oh, the person that called from work to let us all know about the unfolding events is also someone who supports our president and the war. Maybe that's why she still supports it - she blocks out all the facts about what's happening to our brave, unfortunate soldiers and focuses on celebrity haircuts. I wish I was blissfully ignorant, too.
If you're with me, turn the channel when they start to talk about these self-indulgent, rehab-bound celebs. I don't get any sympathy when I have a hard day waiting on douchebags in a steakhouse...you shouldn't get any after you just had a limo escort you to your private jet.
Turn the channel, shut the TV off, and use the internet to look up important stuff - like Japanese Hentai porn.*
Ugh.
(*I'm kidding about the Hentai stuff. Seriously. That shit's gross.)
