Pop Culture

I know that this will come off as "showing my age", but today's pop culture sucks. It has for a while. Music continues to be dominated by no-talent skanks and thugs. Movies have become retreads and formula pieces produced primarily to enhance the bank accounts of egomaniacs. Areas of sports and sport advertising is simply one's spotlight and a chance to speak of themselves in the third person. TV is one area that has finally gotten better . . . but not completely. Here again, reality shows rule, and most just suck. Even cable has it's problems. For every Six Feet Under, there's a Huff. In the modeling world, skinny coke heads seem to garner the most attention. What is it these days? Why is Steve-O a celebrity? Why are we forced to endure Paris? And just when I thought Britany had a brain for dumping Kevin . . . she goes and shows not only how wrong I am, but everything else as well. While I'm no fan of Madonna, she never skanked herself quite like Lindsay, or Britany . . . or others. It's too bad. Particularly since, in the end, it's the fault of the public. People buy into this stuff. I don't get it. There are some truly talented people in this world.
