Breaking News

OK, is anyone else annoyed by this?

I was watching E! today and in the middle of the show, they switched to a "news caster" with Breaking News! So, I'm thinking, "Oh my God! This MUST be something really, really important!" I mean, they interrupted a show right in the middle for crying out loud!

So, I'm listening intently expecting them to announce something that could possibly change life as we know it...

"We interrupt with this breaking news. E! Television has confirmed Angelina Jolie has indeed given birth to twins in France".

Oh my God!

THAT is your breaking news?! OK, so I know I was watching E! and their whole niche is celebrity gossip and other crap that we shouldn't even care out. I mean, really? Why do we listen to what these celebrities have to say any more than anyone else? Just because they make millions of dollars, it doesn't make them any smarter than you or I. Actually, most of them don't even have college degrees so WE are in fact smarter than most of them.

So, Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins. Big fucking deal. What about the other women who gave birth today? Where's their announcement to the public?

And, here's another thing. These celebrities are giving birth to twins and I don't hear one of them admitting to doing IVF. I suppose it's possible for some of them to conceive twins naturally but who are they kidding? These celebrities are in their 30's and it's pretty apparent they did IVF. Why not just admit that you are "damaged" just like the millions of other women who have been trying for years?

That concludes my Sunday evening rant. We now return to regularly scheduled programming.
