really, will it be the next gawdawful celebrity rant, paris hilton's navel lint, nude pictures of Betty White? What? What insipid shit-for-brains,soulless piece of dreck will it be?  :soapbox:

        Hey < I know  maybe then somebody'll trend it then blog on it and tweet it onto their myspace page,lets start a support group for it, have a fund raiser,and get non profit status. we can write a book, iknow a vanity pressing,get it on oprahs book club,or see how many copies we can sell on an infomercial.    IM so TIRED.

Do you think American's really obsess over all the juvenile, tawdry bull - or is it more that American's tolerate the media feeding a constant stream of it instead of anything truly interesting and/or meaningful? I'm often reminded of the line: "99 channels of shit on the TV to choose from." Tiz often how I feel.  I suspect it is all part of the plot.

im just venting, shit like ojs bronco chase, and things the media prattles on and on about just make me sick...maybe its the media who obsesses, I know .....Lets bring back heraldo........yeah that'll be fun....and ever so informative too..time well wasted. God Im just so cynical and jaded too.... Im gonna go read the sun,and national enquirer now.....then im gonna watch inside edition,cnn and fox news......mean while anything that means anything gets ignored ....because its not "NEWSWORTHY", I suspect thats t.v.speak for entertaining. Next the latest on Natalee Holloway.........like maggots on roadkill they are. Maggots waiting around for the next big thing. Scandal after scandal, till were all desensitezed.......how much is enough? is less TRULY more? What is it we are being distracted FROM?  Fuck it .....ill just go to the grand temple of consumerism...the mall......wheeee........   Imagine me drinking.....

Unfortunately, cable and the Internet have created a 24/7 media vacuum.

"99 channels of shit on the TV to choose from."

If that quote is from Pink Floyd, it's "thirteen channels," not 99...

Really? I coulda sworn it was 99. . .
Suppose they changed it after the advent of cable? Now I'll have to go digging to play it and see what he says. . .

Too right. Thirteen it is.

Channels, bottles... same thing? Or, mix and match metaphors?

99 bottles of beer on the wall
