Our Long National Nightmare Is Over

The Anna Nicole Smith (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17276661/) ruling is in.
And the world let out a collective yawn. I hate the US media.
Thank all that is holy.
Why must they keep going on about this crap? No-one really cares. Until she died, I hadn't heard about her for years. Sure, it's a pity she died, but let's all move on, shall we?

oh if only this was the end we could all relax knowing that after this news cycle is over we would never hear the name anna nicole smith again.
there are so many other things yet to be decided. paternity of the baby, inheritance of the old man's millions. whether or not zha zha gabors husband is insane...
this will be with us for many more years to come.

She's dead, so who really cares? It's not like she was hot anyway.
I have to ask some of the non-Americans on the board here. How much of this useless shit news do you get in your country? I've heard it's drastically better than the conditions in America, but how much do you have to deal with?
The media really has nothing better to report.
Anna Nicole Smith Died!

Whether or not Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband is insane...
Probably so. But maybe he just needs money?
The comedians are having a field day with all of this, that's for sure.

I think every country has junk news. I also think that anyone who says his or her country is completely serious and has no news about celebrities with shaven heads is a big fibber. And anyway, kids, if we didn't have junk news in the US, we'd have to deal with serious topics like That Man In The White House all the time. Can you say, "My head would explode?" We need a little diversion.
That said, has anyone heard if James Brown has been buried yet? That poor guy's been hanging out since Christmas.

Yup.

Haven't you heard? He's announced his new tour already... James Zombie Brown. :p

Why do they focus so much time covering shit like this, when there are so much more important things they could be covering?

Like what? Global climate change? Iraq? Afghanistan? The trouble with Russia over the new rocket defense in Eastern Europe?
That would mean real journalism... Who's still capable of that?!?

the number one rule of social control is keep the public in the dark. ;)
the more they can focus the idiots on things like this, the less time anyone thinks about the real issues that are ruining the country.

but...but what if it's just reverse psychology? What if the real issues are things like this AND they're keeping the intelligentsia focused on other things so that they won't blow the whistle? :eek:
