You gotta just turn off the tv sometimes. so called news spends 50% of its time reporting celebrity gossip. Cnn talked about the oscars all day on sunday as if nothing else was going on in the world. growing up i remember when radio had a segment to talk about local issues and news. Now the news consist of celeb gossip and a recap of last nights love and hip hop. they have segments where people actually call in the radio station to discuss the latest love and hip hop episodes. its so embedded in our daily lives its crazy. the reason is that all the media outlets are owned by 3 or 4 companies. They control 99% of what your see and hear.

So much truth :banderas:

The other day I go out to smoke a jack and this joint out there wiping tears. I'm like wha wrong? See like I was just thinking bout Bobby Cristina her mom died this day too. I'm like :wtf: This the same joint trying to find a tutor for her daughter who a senior in HS who might not graduate cause she just finding out she failing math:dahell: Folks pay more attn. to damn "celebrities" that they do they own damn kids. :scust:

Where does this happen?





Who is "they"?



:comeon:

Almost all news outlets. Even if it's at the end, they have to let us know what celebrities feel about what happened. Even espn. As if it's important for us to know what generic statements a running back or a super model made about a tragic event.

Celebrities having millions of followers privy to the most inane details of their lives on social media IS worship.
Does not mean theu are worshipped


As I said its more fodder to pass time and have shyt to talk about than anything else

I also think the unrelenting celebrity bashing on this site says more than this so called celebrity worship

We just disagree.

Everyone has down time, but choosing to spend it on petty strangers is indicative of what you value. Because time itself is valuable.

Choosing to argue with strangers on the Internet about the same 5 topics everyday is indicative as well

My boo and I were bored the other night and turned on Real Housewives of Atlanta for a bit. Oh my god these chicks are so fukking stupid. Can't put a group of them together for not more than a few seconds until they start gossiping and fighting each other. And they're in their 40s and 50s. fukking pathetic. I hate these shows, I hate celebrities, I hate reality tv, and I hate those who make it popular.

I'm getting other perspectives, like yours.
I think that's valuable, to some degree.

It either changes my view or reinforces my view.
