Someone explain to me something

[Scairp]

WTF is up with the constant news about the ridiculous Bieber kid? Does anyone cares besides the asshat media that keeps reporting stories on it. Oh wow! BREAKING NEWS!!! A CELEBRITY got into trouble with the LAW!! Jesus wept, who gives a flying fuck?

1. One word: Ratings

A lot of people love celebrity gossip. Some people love reality TV and People magazine and the National Enquirer. I know what you're saying. I really can't explain that way of thinking, but the media is giving its audience what it wants. Not enough of us, I guess, have zero interest in what Justin Bieber does. There's almost nothing he could do that would be of interest to me.

2. I don't even know what his voice sounds like

I have so little interest in that twerp. I really don't care, and I'm rather upset my grand-niece has been to a concert, in 2012 or early '13, and had a huge poster on the wall when I was there in December. My sister told me Bieber is out now, thank goodness. That shit doesn't fly with her either, especially since the child is right now 8 1/2 years old, which made her 7 1/2 years old when her father took her to the concert. I heard that somewhere his tickets where not selling and they could barely give them away, so I hoped he saved up his millions, or is it billions, because he will have to live on it the rest of his life. Stick a fork in him, he's done.

3. Don't ya know, we love to watch falling stars.

We also love to rubberneck deadly crashes and run up the street when the fire trucks arrive. We are just a sick society.

Besides, it's so much fun to tsk-tsk at his stupidity at destroying his life. Like we never did anything really stupid when we were young! We were all rather obnoxious when we were young.

4. I guess I'm an anomaly then

I do not care about these kinds of people. I admit I read People magazine when my husband picks one up at Target, but this kind of thing which by the way was totally predictable, is not worthy of the front page of the CNN alleged news website. I thought it was for real news not this tabloid shite.

6. It is "real news"

There is no distinguishing line anymore. More people follow this than watched the SOTU address.

Now you know why we are in the shape we are in.

BTW, you are not the only anomaly....I also pay no attention to celebrity "news" and only know what gets enough coverage to infiltrate the "real news".

5. It's either Bieber or Benghazi, take your choice of B's!

7. CNN = Beiber. FoxNews = Benghazi. MSNBC = BridgeGate

The 3 Bs

I'll stick with MSNBC

9. LOL, me too!
