Red-letters

Hey American media,
Bravo on identifying the woman you have dubbed "Octomom" as an attention-starved individual, and talking about her it incessantly. (The nickname alleviates any need to treat her like a human being, and allow us all to vilify her while giving her exactly what it is you claim she wants.) Well played.

Oh, and kudos on the pop psychology diagnosis about her obsession with Angelina Jolie. That's digging deep.

It's a proud day for journalism.

However, you're really on the verge of beating this story into oblivion, so it's really time to move on to some other trivial celebrity. It's time for Britney or Miley or Lindsay to do something outlandish and give you some new material (with the comfortable appeal of the already familiar).

And what's up with showing some restraint with this Chris Brown story? You're coming dangerously close to having integrity. And how is that "American" in the 21st Century?

  1. I would love to come up with some witty comment or intellectual insight in an effort to support your thoughts, but the only thought I can come up with regarding the media and their Octomom obsession is:

    what a bunch of dumbasses.

  2. Whoa, Jenji--don't make all my readers have to run to their dictionaries.

    (Ack, I kill me.)

    Wit and intellectualism get one nowhere in today's society, I assure you...


    And thanks for finding this useless spot, Qaro.
