Jon & Kate

Michael Jackson, Jon & Kate, and Other Celebrity Obsessions

Death, divorces and destruction…oh my!  I don’t watch alot of tv.  Between football games, practices, working out and school…who has the time really? But lately, anytime I turn on the tv all I hear about is Michael Jackson this…Jon & Kate this…

Yesterday there was a special on ET showing Michael Jackson’s mansion, and they spent extra time taking viewers on a tour of the room where Michael most likely died. Doesn’t this seem a little morbid to everyone? Doesn’t anyone feel bad for the Jackson family?  I mean they lost a brother and a son, and now the rest of the world is “mourning” with them by demanding every little detail about his life, and his death.  I don’t know if you’ve ever lost anyone, but when I lost my dad my family wasn’t in the mood for 24×7 media coverage.

Then there’s this Jon & Kate mess. To be honest, I didn’t know who they were before a week ago. Flipping through channels lately you can’t help but pick up some information about these two. Apparently, they have some sort of reality tv show, and theres tonnes  of kids involved.  Now they are getting a divorce. Once again…why is society so fascinated with their misforune that its on every channel?

I don’t know about all of you, but I’d rather watch a tv show about hot muscular men and the boys who love em than watch a show about some dead dude and a straight couple with a  marraige that is ending.  Maybe that’s just me…

Well I’m sure there was a point in there somewhere.  Enough deep thought for me today…I’m meeting a friend for lunch.  Mmmmm…Thai food.
