Spent morning watching mindless stupid ass gossip on VH1 (music? who needs music, i need info on Lindsay Lohan's tanning regimen). WHAT THE FUCK??? What in the hell is wrong with people? Why do these shows exist? I sat through it for as long as I could, but what purpose does it serve? To make you feel bad about your own sad and rapidly sinking middle class existence? To make you think that you too need to get $2500 hair extensions for your dog to be happy? That if you don't have the right handbag and it guy to date, you should kill yourself? To reaffirm the fucking status quo by reminding you of the divine right of celebrities to waste their money on shit like that instead of donating even a little to good causes, because they are just inherently more fabulous than you? (Wow, somehow I just implied we don't have kings anymore, we have Hollywood It Girls....but somehow, yeah, actually, I think we do.) Thank God Beyonce shakes her ass everywhere, or the very fabric of America would tear. And ditto for Paris Hilton sluttin it up on video every chance she gets, America needs its idols to worship. Everybody look at the big shiny hot girl! Don't focus on our actual problems or anything!
Really, in theory, I have no objection to the girls themselves. I like it that rich girls (or even poor girls) can go get wild and crazy like the bachelors of previous eras did as a part of growing up. But the ridiculous excess and the worship of it is fucking insane. The little celebrity bitches and their little celebrity bitches (their precious little puppies) make me ill. It's not a baby and it's not a purse! If you care that much about a living creature how about extending that love and *gasp* instead of buying a designer one of a kind doghouse that the dog won't sleep in, give that same amount of money to a homeless shelter. Radical notion! Heretical even.
Hmm, I go a touch over the top sometimes I think. Perhaps it's not heresy in Republican America to ignore the poor. And the poor little rich girls, their view of reality is so screwed now, sheltered by the peons as they are. My brother says all people should be forced to work two years in retail the way people in Israel have to serve two years in the army, to bettergive them an understanding of how awful normal life can be. But I'm sure they'd get out of that as easily as our President got out of *National Guard* duty. (Don't get me started on that grown up spoiled coke-head it boy spending daddy's money).
