Here's a great CD by RudePundit:
Here's a lyric particularly apropo this week:
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde
who comes on at five,
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry.
- Don Henley, 1982, "Dirty Laundry"
Can someone please tell me why the corporate media is so bent on airing Anna Nicole Smith's dirty laundry on my television?
Who cares about this crap?
You know this is just the exploitation of people's lurid interests. In fact, anyone with three working brain cells understands the vapidness of the story; yet Anna Nicole Smith's story loops over and over again on the news cycle.
Stop it, stop it, stop it!!!
On how many wild limousine rides with silly bubble headed heiresses must I ride along?
I would care more if the people involved had real talents or had contributed substantially somehow to society, art, politics, science, culture, athletics, or even the lives of their own families and friends in some meaningful way.
Heck, at least the astronaut here in Orlando, Florida had done something real with her life before she went around the bend.
But Anna Nicole Smith? Sheesh, I have lawn furniture that has contributed more to humanity than she ever did.
I don't know if re-hashing Smith's death is a sign that we are going the way of ancient Rome; but at least in Rome they had "Bread and Circuses". Today there is no bread, we just get the circus.
Frankly, I suspect that if the mad Emperor Nero were able to watch what passes for news these days he would be demand to know "Just what the f*** is going on here? - You people are f***ing insane!"
Instead of providing real news about real subjects like the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, real suffering in Darfur, those still suffering in New Orleans, or what really goes on in government; the corporate media distracts us with non stop nonsense about the latest celebrity scandal.
The obsession with Anna Nicole Smith is just another example of how the corporate media has failed us utterly.
