Is This Really That Important ?

Well, could you sleep last night?

In what has to rank among the most incessantly hyped and utterly meaningless events in all of human history, People magazine have posted their oh-so precious pics of the new Brangelina product online.

...I'm so excited, I can hardly stay awake.

The magazine allegedly paid $14-million for the pictures, which can be found in the issue that's on news-stands today.....and on practically every other celebrity-schmoozing site you care to name.

So what does this prove?

1)
That one of the most radiantly desirable women on Earth is apparently capable of unaided conception...Duh!
2) That babies and all stages of life that follow [until puberty, of course] are still the most potent [and over-used] tools for invigorating a stagnant career.
3) That a worrying number of people [especially the six who actually read "People"] are idiots and would get excited over pictures of paint drying if a 'celebrity' once touched the brush.

The country's in a slump, thousands of hard-working people are losing their jobs and we're being suffocated by a political campaign whose leaders seem determined to drag it out until at least the next ice age...yet we're all supposed to be transfixed by two cute infants whose combined parental net-worth will ensure such matters are as irrelevant to them as they seem to be to the media at large.

Somebody, somewhere has their priorities mis-filed.
