I mean, yeah, we have the right to laugh at a celebritys misery,but in the words of Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy(one of my idols)"The sad thing is we know more about Brad Pitt,then the war in Iraq". We are more concerned about Paris Hiltons little games than thousands of troops from USA and UK getting killed.
I'm not to fond of those magazines, but this time I'll defend it:
If all people in the world would only care about bad things, like war, starvation, and poverty, what would they be like? How many people don't you think would be depressed, and maybe even suicidal?
Sure, people need to know about what is happening down there, but not too much. Some people are quite sensitive, you know.
Oh, and another thing; how much aren't the media bending things? They don't show as much of the Iraq war now as before, because it's "yesterdays news", it doesn't sell as good.
So a reason to why people know more about Paris Hilton is because they aren't as interested in Iraq anymore.
