Dear Media Centers of the World,

Exactly why am I supposed to care if Paula Abdul was in a relationship with Corey Clark?
Why the hell am I supposed to care why some soon-to-be-wed woman pretended to be kidnapped but ran away to Vegas instead?
Are these stories really worth the constant expose on otherwise decent televsion programs?
Is there so little newsworthy activities going on around the world that this is the best I can see?
This is pretty lame, guys. Really really lame.

Sincerely,
An unhappy viewer.

Well, the Paula Abdul scandal is important in terms of what happens to American Idol. Which is one of the most watched shows on television right now (maybe the most watched show). So although I agree the details of it are pretty dumb, the fallout of it will be important to millions of people.

Watch the Daily Show. It's probably even less meaningful to cover the pointless coverage of the Paula Abdul thing, but at least it's funny and they know it ;)
