I don't know about you but I am fed up with the images and sensationalized headlines on the magazines at the check out counter in local grocery or convience store.. Why should I care about the latest arrest of an overpaid and under talented plastic surgery enhanced loser? These magazines are meant to grab our attention with the racey photos and outrageous behavior, one more unbelievable the the next. What do these magazines really focus on? Gossip not reality.. At least not my reality..The fact is, my reality focuses on how I can support my kids and protect them from the pitfalls in real life instead of why Lyndsey Lohan was arrested for the thirteenth time and some how gets rewarded with  anew movie with a multi-million dollar paycheck!! I guess that is great work if you can get it.. Where do I sign up?? The fact is I would sacrifice a night in jail, have it be front page news, and then get a picture on the front page of all these garbage fillers so I can make that kind of coin.. This has an absolutely negative effect on anyone who actually believes this is relavent information.. Unfortunately, that usually are the kids who used to see these people on Nickelodeon or the Disney channel.. Why aren't there magazines out there showing the generous side of some people or the great philanthropists who give there time to local shelters for kids, or with their time and money actually done some good.. Because kindness and honesty DO NOT SELL!! The majority of people want to see the latest crash and burn or fall from grace any movie star, t.v. actor, athlete or musician just faced..Look at the stats, the National Enquirer has more readers than the Wall Street Journal..Amazing isn't it!! Sorry rag mags, I have better things to spend my 5 dollars on, like milk or bread or anything that has relavence to me and my kids in a positive light..The problem is when you spend your hard earned money, yes it helps the economy but it also encourages these nit wits to print another useless copy.. Great.. Just what we as a society needed.. Another update on some famous all be it pathetic celebrities drug fueled binge and glamourized arrest..Thanks Hollywood!

  1. "Why should I care about the latest arrest of an overpaid and under talented plastic surgery enhanced loser?" HAHAHA. Exactly. And kindness and honesty don't sell. I agree with you entirely. Unfortunately, our economy is stimulated by morons, and they need their "food for 'thought'." Oh... that was good. Yea, that's going in my blog! I liked how I could, tell it was you talking. I agree with you too, where you said that these "talented" celebrities get rewarded with film roles after being arrested. - Veev

  2. Wow, Jeff you might need to see a therapist after this blog entry, sounds like you have alot of built anger towards these magazines. Keep the kids inside, no TV, magazines, radio, or books published after 1950, and they'll be ok. I loved your blog...I too agree we need to put positive things on the covers like people who are doing productive things for society. Thanks!

  3. i like what you said about magazines making a big deal out of famous people getting arrested. Why can't we get the same treatment? If I go on a drunken killing spree, I would like a magazine to talk about it, lol.
