UGH! Seriously. These are the articles on Fox News right now. Rhianna on bikini tour? What the f^@k is a bikini tour? She likes to wear swimsuits? Who gives a crap? The bitch is swimming, do you want her to wear snowpants? Underpants for soldiers? Vanilla fucking ice? STRAWS OF CHEESE!? Now you are just screwing with us. What kind of friggin' article about cheese straws warrants a spot on the main page of an alleged news website? Oh, and to answer my question, yes. I am stressed. My gut does feel it. I don't want to turn into a conspiracy nut, but it almost makes me wonder if they are just trying to distract the readership from important things that are happening in the world.
I can't help but think about bread and circuses. In Rome, when the shit was hitting the fan, the government distracted and appeased the people by providing free entertainment and food (Wikipedia article
here. Yeah, I know. Wikipedia. Just don't cite it in a term paper.). I hate to get all political, but there is a lot of metaphorical shit flying toward the metaphorical fan right now, and the "news" sources give us this. Seriously. If I want this crap I will watch Entertainment Tonight or buy a copy of the National Enquirer.
