SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS INDEED

Did you know that Vatican archaeologists have unearthed the sarcophagus believed to contain the remains of the Apostle Paul? I KNOW!!!! ME EITHER!

Ya wanna know WHY I didn't know? It's 'cause I'm too busy stuffin' my head full of useless crap . . . you know, like Entertainment Tonight. Not gonna be a true newsworthy report on THAT little slice of highbrow journalism. No Siree Bob. Not gonna be bothered with THAT as long as Mary Hart's around.

And ya wanna know WHY won't'you hear about it? Well it's because Britney Spears is runnin' loose sans underwear . . . THAT'S why. Surely THAT "news story" must take precedence.

*disapproving head nod* tsk, tsk, tsk . . . sad state of affairs indeed. :-[
