The irregular quote of the day II

A double quote of the day today. I just couldn't let this reader comment from The Times slide. It follows an article about how the Madonna/Guy Ritchie makes for boring copy ::
Amen.
I couldn't care less if the divorce is a scandal-ridden mess or a boringly mutual affair. It's someone else's divorce. I really don't give a flying fuck.
All these vapid stories about celebrities really get on my tits. Really. I don't care about their style choices and cellulite. These people only exist to divert you from real issues or to sell more shoes.
We probably wont see the end of the world, we'll be too busy reading Heat magazine.
hell, i'm bored stiff by my OWN divorce. other people's? no thanks. by definition divorce is tedious and depressing - and it features lawyers. spare us.
but i guess there is a powerful element of schadenfreuder (spl?) at play here so i can see why some might find it a satisfying subject. not me though. yawn
Amen.

You have tits, Aaron?
Not big ones. Rather pert and attractive ones.
The news media seem trite at best but more likely misdirecting and misinforming. It might be in the nature of the medium, and therefore not resolvable without changing the rules and incentives.
