The news over the last few days has been obsessed with a number of stories that I care very little about. I thought I’d get them off my chest.

• O.J. Simpson’s is going to tell how “hypothetically” he would have murdered his wife Nicole and Ron Goldman. If you are a murderer, I guess that poor taste isn’t exactly going to weigh in on your conscience, but if you are one of the people at Fox who greenlighted this, you should be more ashamed of yourself than usual.
• Borat. Saw the movie. I laughed in bits, but it is the particularly low form of comedy where the comedian achieves his end by simply being willing to do or say anything to shock the sensibilities of his audience. I like my comedy to be a tad more subtle than someone shitting in a bag and bringing it to the dinner table.
• Tales of PS3 mayhem. For crying out loud folks, it’s a video game. Get real. If I was going to buy one, I think I’d wait until I’m not in danger of a driveby shooting.
• The Cruise/Holmes wedding. I don’t care. Really. I mean I really don’t care.
• In fact, i don’t care about pretty much anything that any actor or media “personality” is doing. Does anyone really care what K-Fed does? Paris Hilton? Lindsay Lohan? Madonna? I mean seriously, don’t you people have something better to do with your time?
