Why do we care?

It’s simply amazing to me to see the number of people who are mesmerized by celebrity news. I’m still trying to figure out what is so fascinating.

Yesterday, while I was going through the “news” on a particular website, I found a couple of articles that simply blew my mind. The first was about hip-hop mogul, Diddy. While, I respect Diddy’s business acumen, I couldn’t care less about the fact that he shaves and grooms his private parts.

The second was a story about actress Eva Mendes. Apparently, there is a big scandal because some publication released a story in which she supposedly said that she has had sex in all 50 states. Of course, she refutes the story. But, really who gives a damn. Hell, I wish I had sex in all 50 states.

But, what really blew my mind was the fact that they even made headlines.

With everything that is going on in this country with the economy and lost jobs, Diddy’s private parts and Eva’s possible sexual entanglements are supposed to be news?

What’s worse is that people are reading about it, and discussing it like it means something. Each story had at least 100 comments below them.

That is scary.

The Wizard has spoken.
