OMG what have we come to when this crap is all the news that you see, read and hear about...
Gee, aren't we involved in two wars, a huge international monetary collapse, and scores of "other" events (including astronauts in space), and this stupid "talent" TV show takes the lead in news... Talk about FU'd priorities...

Yup, it's pretty sad. Newspapers are resorting to all kinds of stunts to grab readers.
It's often this kind of coverage that drives me to the 'net.
