What I Hate Right Now #1


As a person who mindlessly soaks up every bit of cultural minutia, I read a lot of articles. Specifically, I reed cnn.com every day and I just read probably the one millionth article written about the mobile phone wars. The bottom line of every article is always exactly the same - it sums up earnings for whichever companies it is talking about and then speculates about their future earnings.

Also, by the way, why are articles written every single week about what the top grossing movies are? Is it that obvious that the movie companies pay the newspapers to write about them?

How symbiotic is the relationship between writers and industries that make a ton of money like cell phone companies?

Also why is it so important that we (meaning me) who constantly keep up with whats going on are forced to be barraged with meaningless news and pointless rumors like this?

I can barely comprehend why news media outlets aren't running more coverage of the billions of dollars spent every day on the industrial war machine that is America.

Wow, and people are out of work and losing jobs and everyone is running around using the phrase "this economy" this and because of "this economy" that. Meanwhile the American public is so desperate for answers that they turn to these Tea Party Lunatics in a desperate bid for meaning out of this morass that they find themselves in.

Why they don't demand a dramatic decrease in military spending as a way to reduce the budget overrun that is pushing us farther and farther into debt and bringing the promise of a one world nation closer and closer all the time is beyond me.

I hate so many stupid articles that I read about idiots everywhere.

And I just watched a cnn video fawning over double amputee "victim" Aimee Mullins who is a top fashion model and a top athlete showing up for the shoot like she just came back from riding a horse with her tied back in a loose braid. She talks to Sanjay Gupta about how her whole life she was upset that people said she accomplished so much despite her disability and shes come to realize that she has accomplished so much because of her disability.

Also, just maybe part of the reason why she's such fodder for the media is because she's extremely hot and if she wasn't then she wouldn't be doing photo spreads and would be getting about as much attention as the worlds top wheelchair athletes.

Alright. I need to stop. I have to wake up to audition for the role of "Paul" in a Mormon movie about the New Testament.
