 | DJ Xammax, 
 Quite. Its trite but like you say who cares? People read
 gossip collumns or whatever its harmless. People are people
 if they're famous or not I don't think about it. Obviously
 it seems to effect a lot of you guys. I feel superior
 anyways so ain't gonna effect me.

 People who give a shit about their lives, or use them as
 role-models are the donkeys.

 | Obviously someone cares, that's why these fucking columnists keep us updated on which sleb has been caught enjoying a
 sunbathe with their tits out. Which sleb has been putting on
 a few pounds. Which sleb has dyed their hair! I've never met
 anyone sad enough to feel the need to keep up to date on
 celebs and I hope I never do.
 
 I'm done.

 | Who cares is the people writing this garbage, the celebrities, and their agents. It's a classic war of
 attrition - wear down the people's resolve by constantly
 talking about celebrities, and eventually you'll get a
 nation of people who've forgotten about important issues,
 and live their lives reading garbage, eating garbage, and
 thinking garbage.

 | If you ask me its so trite, typical and adolecent to bring up these topics. It takes a petty mind to spend one's time
 worrying about frikken' McDonalds and a couple of celebs.
 Who cares whether some losers decide to read some drivel
 about Celebs? People enjoy pap leave em to it. That said its
 harmless so either way who cares?

 | I'm not really a hater, but some of this shit makes me squirm (not in the good way) - all that shit about "Oh my
 idea of a wicked night is do drink 2 martinis and hang out
 with other people who are on TV and in movies a lot and get
 my picture taken for womens magazines".
 
 I reckon I have more fun than that on a fucking weeknight.
 
 And people seriously follow this shit, too. Like think of
 all the girls that would scream and feint if they got a
 phonecall from ...say Ricky Martin.
 
 Seriously, what the fuck.
 
 I don't get all this shit - it's like your life is not
 interesting enough so you try to follow all these famous
 peoples' lives, or something..
 
 That's textbook insanity, deslusional hebephrenic type
 schizophrenia.
 
 and everyone fucking does it!
 
 That's it! I'm going into the woods with a fucking 1,000,000
 candle power torch, a shitload of porn and .........I dunno
 what else. A fire truck. Yeah.

 | No, I'm speaking up for the population. If the population WEREN'T in check, then the level of corruption and
 manipulation wouldn't be happening. It needs individuals to
 talk about this, to help counteract the foetid crap that is
 propogated by the mainstream media, by the government and
 its agencies, and by the Big Corporations.
 
 If your agenda was to make lots of money with minimum
 effort, opiating and oppression would be two natural aims.

 | so much of the world IS a fucking mess... 
 promo, you're talking out of ur "far superior" arse again.
 You seem to lack any critical thought and seem to agree with
 all mass culture/mass thought. There is so much shit in the
 world, but not enough people know about it, in order to
 change it. Try reading some books, if u wanna know about big
 corporations fucking people over then read "Fast Food
 Nation", perfect example of big corporations (i.e. food
 chains) exploiting people and getting away with it.
