WHY do we CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUALTHWAR]

Not sure what you mean? If you’re asking why somebody would be in my house watching such stuff, that’s not what’s going on. I’ll be at other places where people are watching such programs. I might visit a friend and his wife or daughter is watching Springer. I used to visit a friend of mine and him and his wife watched it. I quit going over there. He also likes to watch wrestling; not real wrestling, but where extra large men run around in tights and short shorts and wear giant belts and pretend they want to kill each other while they do pseudo acrobatics.

Not being real != not valid entertainment.

I really don't understand these things either. I remember I stopped by Safeway last week to get some cookies (Safeway cookies are solid), and I went to wait in line (Safeway doesn't have self-checkout...at least the local one). So while waiting, I scan the magazine covers, and immediately, I see this headline on Cosmo or one of those mags:

"ENDLESS ORGASMS"

And all I can think is...what the hell? This is the sh!t that we are buying? They wouldn't have it out there if it didn't work...but...what the hell? Tons of gossip mags, etc etc.

Balls I say. Balls.

I get worse in spam emails. Believe me, it's worse than that magazine.

Cosmo has that crap on their covers EVERY ISSUE. At least three of the story taglines each issue has something to do with sex.

Tomkat! Paris and Nicole!! Bradgelina! I HATE PEOPLE FOR CARING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE!!

I don't give a FLYING FIG about "silent birth" or Paris and Nicole getting :::GASP::: "real jobs". I don't care about poofy lips or scientology or environmentalism and yet these low-lifes who just happen to be famous because they can act or sing or dance or, in Paris Hilton's case, be a low-life, attention whoring slut, have a voice and influence with people. WHY?!?!?! There are millions of other, FAR MORE PRODUCTIVE people out there that are infinatly more worthy of honor and respect and yet, we place these people up on high pedastals, fawn over them as they arrive in limos for some awards show, envy their societal positions and buy trashy magazines and watch trashy shows so we can know EVERY LITTLE PATHETIC DETAIL OF THEIR PATHETIC LIVES!!!

These people strut around, pointing fingers at the rest of us for wasting resources while they themselves are ten times as ****ING GUILTY!! (Barbera Streisand). They tell us we shouldn't have guns, except for their own body gaurds, since their lives are far more important than any pee-ons out there. (Rosie O'Donnel).

I am beginning to develop a real, white-hot hatred for the entertainment industry, in general. These people do not know what real life is like and yet they comment on how they think everyone should live their lives.

Why? Why? Why do we give these people such high standing?

I found this post to be quite funny. Incidentally, I do find that people in the entertainment industry are often FAR more intelligent than radio talk show hosts.

The only TV I watch are DVD's of Seinfeld, Family Guy and Night Court, along with action movies from the 90's. Speed is the bomb.

I'll conclude with this. As long as you are consumed with hatred; you lose. GG

dont know if anyone said anything like this because i never read any full posts but: it really is stupid and i know it has to be annoying to the "star" the person period that somebody is telling everyone their personal information like who they are sleeping with, who they are't, whos kid they're having. i mean honestly....RETARDED

Joke stolen from friend.

Thank you for your sterling efforts in conserving punctuation marks. You'll be pleased to know that the world punctuation shortage is now over, so normal English may be resumed.

Oh, and read posts too. You can't not, then expect people to take you seriously.

That's expected though. After all, sex is a reader interest category, next to the category of human interest. It can't be stopped.

What I find most worrying about brands like cosmo is thier ability to cram the 'female psyche' into a glossy magazine that mostly consists of ads for cosmetics and clothes. If I ever have a daughter she will be banned form buying such magazines (like that would stop her)

The best way to stop a daughter from reading them is reading them yourself. And every evening during dinner you should quote something "witty" from the magazine, and just laugh.

Although it'd certainly work it would probably also widen the father-daughter divide during her tweener/early teen years.

So I caught an article about the particular headline. I guess Mandy Moore was on the cover, and she was a little irritated by the huge ORGASMS UNLIMITED plastered next to her head. This pleased me.

I guess she's called Mandy Moore for a reason.

lol, good call!

I would so do that.

I already do similar things to my niece.

Nice. Very nice. I like it. Can I use it as a satirical example in my journalism class? I'll cite the source MLA style, of course.
