Wasn’t There a War Going On?

Posted by Max Pilote on February 19, 2007

It’s still pissing me off that the most newsworthy items of the week have been Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears.

Alright, Anna Nicole Smith is DEAD. She’s been dead for well over a week now. I think it’s time her fifteen minutes of fame ended and you move on to the fact that our soldiers and DYING IN A WAR!

Britney Spears shaved her head. That’s all that needs be said on it. She did something crazy and stupid AGAIN. Why does everyone care so much? The baseball team at my school shaved their heads once because they made playoffs. Cancer patients lose their hair because the chemo. Some people are just bald because they’re old. Hair loss it common. It happens.

Last I checked, we have thousands of troops marching around in a foreign country to protect our freedoms. I thought that was newsworthy, but apparently it’s not. We have thousands of people dying of genocide in Darfur. That’s not top news either. Hell, there are hundreds of thousands of people living and dying on the streets but we have to focus all of our attention on Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears.

Way to go America. You’re the greatest.
