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.

The problem here is that people are obsessed with watching celebrities fall. People want to ignore the stupidity and pettiness in their lives so get embroiled in stupid meaningless things such as which celebrity is in hot water now or which celebrity is fucking who.

I wish no ill will against Paula Abdul, but her plight is no concern of mine. It's trivial and unimportant and just because millions of viewers who have nothing better to do than live and die with the fate of some celebrity they've latched onto for whatever reasons think that this is important doesn't mean it necessarily is. it was never important when Clinton had sex with those bimbos either.

These people are.. people. They are human. They make mistakes. They use bad judgement. Who the hell gives us the right to judge them and why is it newsworthy so that americans across the nation can judge someone on their transgressions.

This is bullshit news. Bullshit. Give me something more important. What laws are being passed. What wars are being fought. What is going ON in the world?

I totally agree that their sex lives are none of our business. But still, the fallout of this will be important to a lot of people, whether you think it -should- be important to people or not. It doesn't just affect her, it affects the contestants of the show too (who, despite being really popular and well-known now, were not popular at all just a few months ago), particularly if they decide to kick her off before this season is over.
