I’m signed up to receive email alerts from several of our region’s supposed news outlets, so if something ‘major’ happens, I’ll know about it right away.
Well, I just received such an alert, and the major “Breaking News“ –
Court Suspends Spears’ Visitation Rights
There’s been another turn in Britney Spears’ custody battle following an
emergency hearing.
Oh puh-leeze…In what possible universe is this major breaking news? I mean, who cares? This is nobody’s business except for those involved. Even as ‘celebrity’ news, these people had their 15 minutes of fame several years ago, squandered it, and are so irrelevant that only news organizations, trying to prove how ‘hip’ they are, could even be remotely concerned about this.
At least this accomplished one thing – I now have one less Breaking News email subscription…
I agree, why would/should we care? True it is significant, but only to those involved (those poor people). They want the attention, they can learn to deal with the consequences.
