So if you're an American or Canadian, or you were unlucky enough to hear about it as much as we did, you would know about the verdict in the Michael Jackson case. Most people are unhappy with the verdict, as to them Michael Jackson is a creep who made it big.

Now, I couldn't care less what the verdict was. Why should I care what happens to celebrities? What have they done? They made their fortune singing or acting. Good for them. Why should we care if they're getting divorced (again) and having storybook weddings? They put their pants on the same way everyone else does, right? So why does the media have to fawn over every little thing they do? You don't see ordinary people getting as much attention for crimes unless they are priests or mass murderers.

Because celebrities are real easy to mock.

I believe the people who are interested in this case look at MJ and think, now why in the hell would you go a totally f_ck up a great thing like you had? Regardless if this breaks him in the bank dept. he'll always have his very own never-land that he can take with him where-ever he travels.

The Brits do that to this day with Princess Di. Should I care about who she was seeing 15 years ago? I couldn't care less what the paparazzi had to say about her back when she was alive, and I still can't care less now. Should I care about Prince Chuck and his new wife (or whatever title the pretentious Brits gave her)? I think not.

Who really gives a flying f-word about the British nobility? All they do is sit on their rear ends, get more attention than anyone JUST for being born, and they make money for not doing a damned thing.

I never pay any attention to this kind of stuff, and so if they are questions in trivia I hardly ever know the answer.

Im definetly with you Triton.
The problem is that some people just love a gossip. if is scandalous they wouldn't care who it was, but if its someone that others know (eg: Celebrity) they can b**ch about em until the cows come home.

Now onto the tabloids: blah blah blah ... Michael Jackson!....blah blah blah blah.
This is entertainment!!! :eeeeeh:

...anyway Ive have my little rant thanks for hearing me out.

[Quintopotere]

I never liked gossip :not_ok:

But i think that it will never end cause it's a big business pushing fashion and so on...
