celebrity blinders

hi. did you all hear about conan vs. leno!? omg, i can't believe they might move conan's time slot. that's so ridiculous. poor conan. how will he ever survive? oh yea and 500,000 people died in haiti. but back to conan, more importantly...if you can't see the sarcasm here then you might as well join pat robertson and his ignorant following. it always amazes me how much people invest themselves into other celebrities lives but then ignore actual people who need help. conan vs. leno really is a crazy situation anyway and really should be left up to them and the management to settle. neither of them will be in any sort of desperate, life-threatening situation because of time slots. i have seen so many people go wild about this situation and completely ignore the earthquake in haiti that killed 500,000 people. 500,000. does that number not compute with people? then we have the ever-brilliant pat robertson saying that the haitians had it coming because they "made a pact with the devil." why is everyone not enraged at this religious zealot?

it's easy for me to hate this guy because i am not one who puts much stock into religions, generally, but i expected the "real christians" that dominate this country to actually stand up against this idiot. instead they would rather lambaste leno. i honestly could care less about the situation between conan and leno. i do think that conan is getting the short end of the stick, but at least he's getting a piece of the stick. 500,000! i don't think i can say it enough. and i'm sorry if this post isn't particularly hilarious but even i'm going to take a moment and be serious for a second.


forget the octo-mom, forget john vs. kate, forget conan vs. leno, let's talk real lives that need help for a second. we all lost our minds when 3,000 died in 9/11 let's wake the hell up and help the people who managed to survive this mega-disaster. take off the celebrity blinders, people.

take cover,
-ry

I will point out that in 24 hours of the disaster, private American citizens donated 3 million dollars to Haitian relief through organizations like the red cross and religious based charities. As shallow as Americans may seem, our citizens open up their pockets in a big way when the world needs it.
