Culture Shock
I am appalled at the recent adjustment in the news from Iran to Jackson. Leave it to the less intelligent specimens on this planet to be more interested in Jacko than in a regime overturning. Now there are arguments over whether drugs killed him. Let me break it down, when you have hundreds of surgeries to change yourself, and you live the rock star life nothing less of drugs and private jets, you die. I am a fan of Jackson, don’t get me wrong; he changed the way music was made, but his personal life disgusts me. Maybe he did molest those kids, maybe not. All I know is that I like kids, I like to see them smile, but that will in no way put me in the position to be accused of child molestation. Even better, I would never pay off families because I know I wouldn’t be found guilty due to my innocence. I would love to look like a rock star, but I wouldn’t bleach my skin and have surgery until my nose falls off. Gosh, now I’m talking about him… Okay, yes it is sad to see him pass, but in no way should I, or should the world, be this upset. Nelson Mandela doesn’t even deserve this kind of attention and he is a TRULY great man, not some bleached out rock star.
Stories, rock stars, countries, and revolutions aside, WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE! Are we seriously more concerned with some rock star than the pending revolution of the country that could lead to a world war? I am tired of reading stories about Iran as well, overdone by the media and reporters dying for their anchor story. I am less concerned with the content of the stories than with the fact that we have the attention span of a fourth grader with ADD. All it takes is a dead celebrity to turn us from real events. On a side note, ADD is a product of overmedication of our nation’s youth, but that’s a different story.
We have a growing dilemma with public opinion when entering into war. Well, I think our nation’s leaders might be able to use this public form of ADD to eliminate the crisis. Go to war, then kill a celebrity; once that blows over, hold an ugliest dog competition, and after that they could just take down Twitter for a few hours. Each of these events would lead to months and months of stories that the public considers more important than war. Leaders, hear my words, have a few of these back-up events ready to go. The public already acts like a fourth grader, so might as well give them what they want. To top it off, when the story of how corrupt the government is surfaces, just make sure there are some mysterious circumstances surrounding the next celebrity’s overdose. I think this could eliminate the need to keep the public happy in regards to the war.
