I think our country has lost a lot of brain cells or something over the Ozone situation! I mean, come on. Is Britney's life THAT interesting that we have to hear about her every waking move? OR whether or not she farts when she is sleeping? Come on, is THAT journalism? Is there not a war going on? Are people not starving all over the world? Are we not losing layers of our Ozone each minute of the day? Yet, we still find some type of pleasure in seeing the media drag Brit and other celebs through the mud then try to cheer them on again after they dry them off. Gimme a break. To come home, sit down and turn on the tube only to see the nightly news' BREAKING STORY is all about some damn Angelina and Brad or Tom Cruise' Wedding or some new stupid photo of Britney's cooter, is just ridiculous! What a world we live in....

Because corporations don't want you to think about the dwindling fish population because they pollute the oceans and might have to do something about it. They also also own and control the major news media. Britney is just a distraction..

I've wondered that for a long time. I'm glad to see some intelligent answers here.
The media is allowing these 'celebrities' to be front-and-center on everything. As a result of this, our society is going to hell. Actors and singers should stick to the recording studio and the sound stage and not beyond that scope. Celebrities and their lives and opinions are worthless to me. The media needs to keep them off the air and out of print and save that space for issues that are of real importance. Because of the twisted priorities of mainstream media I bet more people would recognize Britney's snatch than Barack Obama. (maybe I'm stretching it a little but I hope my point has been made.)

Sadly, our society holds celebrity up as almost sacred. Compared to that, who cares about some silly ol' fish? I care about the fish population declining, but sadly, it's not going to be a "big deal" until it's too late. Our media, and lets face it, ourselves - would rather talk about Britney's latest coochie moment than trying to actually solve anything.
There was a UK study released that shows ten year olds think being a celebrity is the best thing in the entire world - followed closely by being beautiful and being rich. Gack.

Cause there are plenty of fishy smells in Britney Spears. Maybe enough to replace the ocean completely.

Because is 30 years we'll be able to use the accumulated fat from Britney Spears' many pregnancies as viable source of sustenance.

Ratings!!! Ratings and like anything many would rather smell Britney's - - - - rather than smelling a real fish...
And besides Fish can Multiply much faster than that Lousiana Redneck Hoosier....

Even more important is the Iraqi dwindling population.

Don Henley summed it up nicely with his 1982 hit "Dirty Laundry"
Lyrics for: Dirty Laundry
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry
Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around
We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry
You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around
Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry
We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry

They call it wag the dog. They are trying to distract us about unimportant things, so we will not get upset about what is really happening.
