In general I regard all attention whores in the media as little more than vacuous overflowing propaganda receptacles, leaving their refuse on the ground as more and more useless information piles on top of and slips off. These new media types, in my opinion, they all want attention, they want people big and small talking about them, spreading news of artificial and manufactured (IE: made-up) ‘controversy’ that really exists only because they know it’s a buzzword and gets people’s attention.  People like Ann Coulter, or Mike Moore.  They only want to capitalize and profit by hijacking people’s fears and pretenses and preaching to the already converted for book deals and a quick few bucks before dropping off the media radar like a shooting star, laughing their way to the bank.  They claim to speak for us, they don’t.  They speak for their corporate backers and their wallets and will say anything, no matter how stupid or crazy it is, to get that spotlight shined upon them for a few more precious seconds.

So, in general, my policy is to not waste effort saying my opinion of their opinions because in the grand scheme of things people like that do not matter, they come and go or persist only in the most slanted ideological soapboxes that will allow them to spill more of their garbage to a gradually diminishing audience.  Essentially you’re arguing with a puppet, a loose configuration of rhetoric given corporal form.  A shambling horrible media zombie, relentlessly craving ratings.  They want to offend you, and grab your attention, so I think it’s a good idea to ignore them and I wish more people would realize this and do the same.   Of course, there are exceptions for extra persistent and or insidious ones, and for that I offer these few choice words towards the individual that compelled me to write this article.  Mr.  Glenn Beck.

Now, Beck is known for saying racist, ignorant, and retarded political statements pretty much on a daily basis.  He’s also known for holding huge corporate-sponsored and funded rallies to further establish himself as the center of a ‘movement’ that has been artificially constructed to feed Fox New’s narrative of widespread political dissent towards the evil Demoncrats and their obvious facio-socialist agenda to take over our lives.  Hell, he even came close to offending me when he pretended to cry and be afraid for America, because it was such an obvious act and people still bought it.  This is not what managed to actually offend me, as, like I said, I’m fairly numb and indifferent to obvious liars only out to make a quick buck.  What got me was a simple statement, stated rather emphatically:

Two plus two equals four!

Kicking Over the Pedestal

Let’s talk about the same topics as everyone else!  Why the hell not, it’s not like you all haven’t heard about who’s had the latest meltdown or what sports player is doing steroids or what singer is getting into trouble.   It’s not like you haven’t heard about it from all the morning talk shows, 24-hour news channels, local news channels, talk radio shows, and late-night shows.   No please, we haven’t heard the same four or five stories recycled on every show.   A topic isn’t interesting unless we’ve heard it discussed by everyone.   There’s nothing more interesting going on, not at all.  Look over here people!  Do not look behind the curtain!  Ooooooohhhhhhhhh……

Otherwise we wouldn’t hear the same stuff from different people all day.   Clearly it’s important, after all, Christian Bale screaming at some guy or A-Rod (as if anyone gives a damn about baseball) did steroids!  My god.  People have flaws and they aren’t perfect avatars of goodness and grand capitalistic enterprise.   Spoiled rich people make mistakes even after the media praised them up and down… implied (this is key, it’s always implied so it can be denied or thrown out at a moment’s notice) that these are the creme’ de la creme’ of society and therefore should be the types the everyman aspires to be like.  How could they let us down like this?

Exploitation of the Dead for Fun and Profit

If you live in Central Florida, you’d have to agree with me that this Caylee Anthony case has completely got out of control.  It’s disgusting how the media has been going on and on about this for months.  You’d almost believe there was nothing better to talk about.  Certainly not the housing crisis…

… or joblessness…

… or Central Florida Blood Banks profiteering off donated blood for their board of directors…

… or the endless homeless problem…

… or the rising murder rate…

…or the State’s lame duck do-nothing governor who only seems to be able to take a position when it comes to what brand of  brand of sun-tan lotion to use in between press conferences where he assures everyone that ‘everything’s going to be fine’ as long as you don’t ask questions or think about the situation at large, of course.

To think, that those are just things that I’ve thought of off the top of my head.
