Does anybody else find it disgusting how the top story on one news channel today was about Angelina's babies?

Question

Out of all the things that are going on now, I personally find it disgusting how something as stupid as this is the top story. It's GMTV mind, so it's not unusual, but I don't understand why they think that her children (who I couldn't give two sh*ts about) are more important than soldiers dying in Iraq.

Answer 1

Yes, I also find it disgusting.

Answer 2

~ I agree that we in America, overall, have some pretty mixed up priorities.

But, I'm not surprised that many of us would prefer to hear about the happy births of healthy babies, over the continuing deaths of our fellow Americans overseas, in a war we feel helpless to stop.

For some of us, the birth of the world's instantly most famous twins was a short gulp of much needed escapism from the realities of our current day to day living.

Besides, babies are cute! (LOL).

Answer 3

I don't find it disgusting. I find it ridiculous just like all the Hollywood news that make it in the news, as current events.

Answer 4

I know who cares about Angelina's baby?

Answer 5

Nothing wrong with putting some good news at the forefront for a change, unless you enjoy reading bad news continually

Answer 6

This is one of the things that have been bothering me as well. Something like that should never be considered as news. There are so many things that go on in a day that the news should have more than enough important stories to tell and subjects to talk about.

Answer 7

NO!  I love living in a society where we've replaced news and commentary with celebrity obsession and advertising.  I love the freedom(tm) of being able to have anything I want, so long as I'm rich and what I wan't can be bought with a credit card.  I especially appreciate that we that we've spun a culture of fear where anyone who questions this status quo is publicly denounced or worse.  Now drink your f'in Kool Aid and watch that crazy kid with the mascara demand that we leave Brittany alone!.

Answer 8

Although I find your language a bit strong, I tend to agree with you.  What a lot of nonsense.  

An actress giving birth to more children - really, why is that important?

Answer 9

People die in Iraq everyday, we already know that. I dont want to be rude or say theyre not doing a good job for their country but how many ways can you say "people are dying". Once is enough. Drumming it into the public isnt going to change the fact that people are dying.

However, people DO care about celebs. Esp ones like Ange. And if we're taking moral high ground and saying that soldiers dying is important then isnt it children starving in africa also important. Which brings me back to the point that the majority of Anges kids are adopted from third world countries.

Oh & just because you dont "give to s***s" about her babies, doesnt mean other people don't. If you dont like it dont watch the news.

Answer 10

I think there are more important things to worry about in the world than Angelina's babies.

Answer 11

I bet your pissed off because the pictures were sold for 20million. No wonder she can keep adopting kids, for christs sake its disgusting how she can get 20 million for a picture while there are people who have to eat out of garbage cans. If she didn't have an amazing body, I'd hate her.

Edit: s***w it I don't care how hot she is someone who gets $20 million deserves to be hated.

Answer 12

You know i'd be more interested in a top story that she used the 20 f*ckin million dollars she got from stupid baby pictures to feed 20 million people in africa, or donated it to an orphanage and guaranteed college education for them OR invested in 10 restaurants that only hired homeless to give them jobs and keep them out the streets....THEN I'D CARE...

but since it's just about her two d**n kids, like they're GODS and their children are the most godlike things on the planet (which granted, i was a WAY cuter baby than they were) then no....just the dumbass media catering to the stupidity of the socially retarded masses that buy into that c**p....and they wonder why our economy sucks so bad...sheesh.

Answer 13

Maybe they've started dumbing us down like in the book Fahrenheit 451.
