Thinking Aloud (Sort of)

I know she gets a lot of attention already and there has been a lot said, but I am going to toss in my 2 cents about Paris Hilton. For one thing, she stayed in prison for what? Barely 3 weeks? And the media treats it like she was a P.O.W. or something. I've never seen so much news coverage (or at least heard, I wouldn't watch a damn thing of this) over something so stupid.

Why is the media glamorizing someone who drives around drunk and violates probation? I guess the news was so brutally slow, someone must have thought "Oh! Oh! Good idea! Let's go cover Paris going to jail! That's, like, freaking awesome!!!"

I do hope there is more thought put into this stuff then that. Or else... wow, we're all screwed.
But really, all joking aside... I am even amazed that people sympathize Oh she says she'll give it up! Wow! Great! I somehow don't buy that line for a second... sorry, I just don't find much credibility from a person who rose to fame over a "leaked" sex tape.

What next? Paris for Prez?

Dear god no...

Then again, I'd think the rest of the world would stop hating us, should Paris Hilton become president. How could they hate us then? We'd switch from hated to laughing stock in mere seconds! Come on folks, now say this with me...

That is the very... Best. Plan. Ever. EVER. Can there be any doubts in anyone's minds? I think not. No way, this is sure fire! A can't miss even!

No really... it is...

I guess I should apologize some, I mean it isn't everyday that I rant off about something that goes on in the world. Why this? I don't know, it just pisses me off that something so incredibly stupid can get as much news coverage as it does. It does make me glad that I no longer have cable, or else I would be have been flooded by this.

I could wonder why news stations don't cover more good stories, by that I mean of people helping others or doing good deeds. But that's right, that sort of stuff doesn't keep people interested, not like some good old drama.

Truth be told, the best I do to keep up with local and world events is just read a newspaper or look online as I am about to check my email. That is more then enough for me.

Wow, so this is how my mind goes off when I get consecutive days off huh? Amazing. And to think, I just have 2 days in a row... Imagine what 3 could do! I'd be writing some haphazard arguement about the values of dust or something.

Now that would be world news worthy. TOTALLY.
