Pop Culture!!!!

It’s time to take a break from the serious stuff and get back to what I love: pop culture! As if there was anything else?! My life revolves around it. My latest cause is the one I read about in Cosmo magazine. My favourite song is the one that all the radio stations are playing. My quote of the day is taken from the latest episode of Family Guy (Seth MacFarlane=genius!) Let’s face it, I’m a popaholic and proud of it! I was showing a good friend of mine this blog the other day and she was baffled. Her exact words were “So this is what you want to do with your life? Don’t you want to help people?” I wasn’t sure how to respond to that, I have to admit she did throw me for a loop.

After much consideration I realized that I am an entertainer. I “help” people by giving them a distraction from their day to day stresses and hopefully make them laugh. Life shouldn’t always have to be so serious. So I won’t win any awards for being a good Samaritan, no sweat off my back! C’mon now, I graduated with a degree in communications, not social work! What good deeds have Brad and Angelina done other than indulging our penchants for eye candy? According to Roseanne, not a whole lot! G-d bless you for your cynicism Roseanne!

Perhaps it’s the Benadryl affecting my better judgements, but I believe that pop culture and celebrity gossip are serious matters! Could you imagine a presidential campaign without getting to dish about the latest candidate’s affairs!? John Edward’s love child for goodness sakes, it will be on people’s tongues long after clean-cut Oblama wins! (No, that wasn’t a typo, I meant Oblama!)

Speaking of Oblama, he received some attention for his “friendly emails” with Scarlett Johansson, what was that about? Hmm, I wonder how “friendly” those emails were.

All I know is that I like my news breezy and quick to digest, and I don’t see the problem with that! It’s not like I am going to be the head speaker at a MENSA conference. However, if the Learning Annex is short a guest speaker (Donald Trump had other engagements). I will be the first in line!

My mother said that if I wanted people to take this blog seriously, that I should get more in-depth in my articles. I guess I was taking the wrong approach by assuming that people stopped caring by the third paragraph. If there is a growing demand for longer articles that’s fine by me. Honest to blog, I can write forever.....

That’s a damn lie and you know it! My attention span peaked about fifteen minutes ago and I can’t remember what this article is even about. Man I love our uniquely North American shallow and vapid ideals! Nowhere else could I get away with writing about nothing! For no reason at all, I am going to end this article with the video for “What Is Love?” by one-hit wonder Haddaway, enjoy!
