What things are you hearing about now that you would rather see just totally disappear? At this moment, I would love to see all news programs running the damned "Prince Charles/Camilla Bowles Wedding" disappear into a massive black hole!

Seconded.

it only happened about two hours ago...

ill give it until tomorrow until i start getting annoyed with it. sure they dragged the Pope thing on for long enough

anyway, its not on the tv here, they cut away for the Grand National, now i dont know what theyre showing

Schiavo.

That Camilla Bowles is human.

All the random celebrity junk that they use as filler.
There are so many actual events they coulld be reporting, instead of speculating about what some celebrity will wear to $AWARDS_SHOW, but it seems like pointless commercial junk is what sells.
:headbang:

Schiavo
Pope
Jackson

The Three Evils of The News.

I mean, dear God people. There was a bloody revolution in Kyrgistan. That isnt more interesting than some pedophiles latest fake faint?

At least Charles married the person he wanted to marry now.
The Diana marriage was probably forced upon him.

This is the sort of thing that makes me worry about the future of the human race! That and the fact that idiots like Billy Packer continue to do the OxyClean commercials. Just imagine, that idiot is making big bucks for yelling at prospective customers! I wouldn't buy anything that dumbass advertised if my friggin' life depended on it! Grrrr!

The Pope.

*tries to contact eutrusca's kids for an intervention"

TURN OFF THE TV!

this broken leg thing has you watching WAY too much tv. if you find yourself yelling at the guy in the infomercial you have gone too far. if you are sick of watching that wedding on tv.... it was on at 6 am for gods sake.

i know its hard to get around with a cast on your leg but JUST SAY NO.

have you considered doing jigsaw puzzles instead?

Excellent point! Just gives more weight to my worries about the future of the human race, though. Sigh! :headbang:

Is OxyClean some skincare product or other? Because if so, clear skin > life! For shame Eutrusca... for shame.

I'm sick of hearing about plenty of things, yet I continue to discuss them... hrm. I'm sick of American Idol, but only because it's pretty much the ONLY thing two of best friends (One of whom is my girlfriend) talk about for months. Well, it seems like that sometimes.

Don't get me wrong. I liked the Pope but enough is enough already.

With all the coverage you'd think they were waiting for him to rise on the third day after his death or something.

Michael Jackson, Prince Charles (who is on my list of useless people) and the Terry Shaivo issue.

I didn't include the Pope because I respected him for his work on peace.

I can't stand hearing about the fricken Pope...yeah the guy died and so did alot of other people but you never hear of them.

I agree, their wedding does not benefit my life, and it's a waste of time. They could be covering more important issues rather then the marriage of two people I could give a shit about.

TURN OFF THE TV!

But Doctor Who's on later! I'm not missing that!

The Pope thing is getting kind of boring now. He's dead - let him be. You watch, when they pick the new one, it'll be the same thing all over again. Can't wait. :rolleyes:

American Idol needs to die. That show is dumb.

Hmmm. Well, I tried posting more on General, but got verbally assaulted for posting a well-known joke, so that didn't work out. And even with having issues thrown at me twice a day, there's only just so much you can do with an NS nation where you can only react, not act.

I don't like jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, etc, so that's not going to work either.

Maybe I just need to find another g/f to keep me occupied, eh? :D

Charles & Camilla was more intersting than the Pope, at least for me. I rather see some people cheering on a newly wed couple than all those fanatics in Rome crying over that old bugger.

Amen, brother! :) I really detest these so-called "reality shows." :(

Y'know...what really burns me up is that during the Shiavo debacle there was a shooting in a school resulting in 11 deaths over in a little part of Minnesota. What did they do? Go right back to the fight between Shiavo's bitch-parents and bitch-husband.

I don't think FOX even aired anything on the Minnesota shooting, they were too busy with bringing in a bunch of neocon bastards to talk about how God wanted Shiavo to live...

Idiots...

think of how much more "creative" you have to be to have fun with a broken leg

They did cover it, but only briefly. I have to agree with you that the Shiavo thing was run into the ground.

With the entire universe to choose stories from, you'd think there would be some really interesting news stories, rather than parading dweebs and beating dead horses. :(

Did you hear about the massacre in Brazil? Guess what overshadowed that? :rolleyes:

ok ok here you go

i love reality shows

well not american idol. sometimes i do watch the beginning part where all the freaks show up to audition but the competition part is boring.

and those "bachelor" shows are too awful to watch. "which of these 25 women will timmy marry?" when they pick women for their conflict potential not to mention men and women willing to get intimate on camera *shudder*

and big brother is an exercise in torture. lock up 20 some people together in a house with no entertainment but backstabbing. no tv, no movies, no radio, no cds. how do they avoid murder?

the challenges on the apprentice are hour long commercials for different huge corporations. donald trump makes me sick.

the syndicated dating show are crappy too. pretty people being "paid" to be outrageous

but

i try not to miss survivor or the amazing race. i like to watch the people deteriorate mentally over time on survivor until they make basic mistakes on who to trust. the amazing race is the only elimination show where people are eliminated by their own mistakes and incompetance. no one votes off the strongest people, the weak get knocked out as their physical and mental limitations wear them out
