The Count

I feel bad for Carrie Prejean

Seriously, all she did was answer a question truthfully... and in return she a) finds out what living in 21st century glass houses is all about and b) that there are people more than willing to turn you into a tool, regardless of how cute and sincere you may be.

Sigh, I just hope someone learns something from this.

Bridezillas

A confession, the Countess and I have a guilty pleasure called Bridezillas on the WE network. It also has a really snappy theme song.

Essentially, each show follows around two of the most shallow, superficial, egotistic and dislikeable women you could possibly imagine as they get ready for their wedding day. Now, I fully understand the stresses of planning and executing a modern wedding, but if these folks weren't so over the top insane and inane they would not be on the show, and the show would not be on the air.

Guaranteed, in one month to five years, these women will be on Jerry Springer... and the cycle of television comes full circle.

Yikes! I'm Writing About Britney Spears

I'll be very brief.

Ok, I'm late on this because the last thing I care about or listen to is anything to do with "pop stars". In all honesty, I've never seen or heard Britney Spears perform on any media. I reserve myself for much more serious pursuits, such as playing WoW or watching Stargate: SG-1 and nekkid female Jello wrestling.  :)

Anyhoo, having said all that, I do think that all the hate being leveled at her is unfair. She's just doing what the average Jane and Joe in this country aspire to do, she's recapturing her lost youth and glory without really working for it instead of growing and maturing with life.
