The article I read was focused on the media’s unhealthy obsession with Sarah Palin. Whether you like her or not, it’s difficult to dispute that the never-ending coverage of all things Palin is quite undeserved. As the author suggested, I took the Palin pledge. For the entire month of February, I vowed not to click, post, or comment on anything about Sarah Palin.
As it turns out, it was much easier than I thought. I made it through the month without all the nonsense, and my brain was better for it.
And just when the Palin-craze seemed to be calming down, along came Donald Trump. Here we go again…
I resisted the urge to blog about Trump, even though the relentless coverage of his fake campaign was infuriating. For goodness sake, the guy tried to use his own Comedy Central roast as a launching board for his so-called campaign! Not only did he make a mockery of political discussion, but he insulted the very sanctity of the celebrity roast. Disgraceful…
Shame on the media, and shame on those of us who buy into it. With that, here is a list of a few irrelevant people that I simply don’t need to hear about anymore. Call it my own personal cure for click-sickness:
Sarah Palin – 15 minutes of fame that has lasted over 2 years…and still counting.
Donald Trump – How can someone who has his name on a line of mattresses ever be president?
Lindsay Lohan – Having a recurring role on Court TV doesn’t make you an actress.
Arnold Schwarzenegger – Spent the last decade researching a role for an upcoming disaster movie titled “My Life”.
David Arquette & Courtney Cox – Not even the pain of a troubled marriage can compare to the agony of watching Scream 4. Screw both of you...
Kim Kardashian – Future recipient of the Paris Hilton Lifetime Underachievement Award.
Tiger Woods – Way too much going on in the world of golf to focus on a guy who hasn’t won since 2009.
But because I’ve gotta keep a little crazy, I reserve the right to click on the following: celebrity mug shots, NFL police blotter, Michelle Bachmann, and Charlie Sheen.
p.s. - I am aware that blogging about the very topics I'm criticizing it is quite contradictory. But this way, I can get all of it over with in one post...and move on to more important things. Like reviewing crappy movies and making fun of stupid criminals.
