From Yahoo, today: "Video Game Angers Families of September 11."
Why is it news when some group gets "angry" over some perceived offense? The presumption is that I want, or need, to know when some group gets "angry." The news media love this kind of headline; we see it and hear it all the time, do we not? Shrill voices sell papers.
Muslims get angry. Christians get angry. Dems and Repubs get angry. Unions are angry. Illegal aliens are angry. Blacks are angry. Whites are angry. Latinos are angry. Women are angry. Men are angry. (Funny, you don't hear about Asians getting angry much. They're too busy getting ahead to care about bullshit.)
Well, I don't care at ALL. Their "anger" is none of my god damned business, and mine is none of theirs. Only comedians--good comedians--have anger worth sharing with strangers.
On a related note: I wish one of these Olympic gymnasts, male or female, would turn around and administer a sound beating to the camera person who is literally up in his or her grill. The moment of pride or pain is interesting in a voyeuristic way, but does the camera have to be so close to these poor people? Especially if they're sad...Christ, give them a break. We don't need to count their teeth or their teardrops.

But REAL news is BORING. Which doesn't sell advertising. PBS is better, if you can stay awake.
That's why I wear....tuna fish sandwiches!!!
