Oh....My......

So, I hop out of the shower and stroll into the living room, where the TV was broadcasting "Breaking News." At last! It was the long-awaited result of the Anna Nicole trial in which a court was to determine who was going to get her rotten, stinky remains ("Ooh, I do! I do!")

Truth be told, I couldn't care less about any of this crap. Like OJ and JonBenet, this craziness is just brain candy for bored, gossipy people who have nothing better to do but sit in front of the TV and delve into other's personal lives. HOW is this ANY of our business? How pathetically desperate for cognitive stimulation do you have to be to give more than a half-ounce of crap about this case? Apparently many people do care, because they broke into several reputable programs to broadcast this news. As I was scooting around the channels to see how many stations thought this was more important than their regular programming, I saw the judge of the case literally BREAK DOWN as he read the ruling. Sniffling and weeping, he dramatically tapped on his bench to get his composure. You have GOT to be kidding me! It makes me so sad that our country has reached the point where a JUDGE (an individual who is appointed to decide cases in a court of law) would turn his courtroom into a freakshow by being unable to keep control of his own emotions during a ruling. I would rather french kiss Wilford Brimley for a full three minutes than watch one more moment of that puke-inducing dramafest.

I'm now officially scared of daytime television. Somebody get me back to work. Stat.

Yummy!


UPDATE: If I was at work today, I would have missed the opportunity to watch "Michael Bolton-- A Tribute on Ice" (an ACTUAL show)
I pity the skaters, who likely had to listen to Bolton's whiny voice over and over again as they rehearsed.
