the air waves, that is. Which story seems to you to have legs?

ScarletKnight41 Feb 23 2007 09:57 AM

I'd prefer not to think about either of these stories. They're banal.

KC Feb 23 2007 10:16 AM

I took shoot me now. Coincidently, I vowed to stop watching the news on television this morning.

None of those people exist in my world.

Sean Hannity was in Miami yesterday and he sent an employee outside with a cellphone and had her on over the air....what was she doing you might ask? proving that there are more random people on the street who know about Britney and Anna than there are people who know the name of the vice president of the United States. It's pretty sad. You know the citizenship test we make immigrants take? I think we should give it to everyone as a "voter registration test."

Jack Cafferty firebombs a colleague. Pretty funny few seconds:

I think four out of five days this week there was a Bald Britney update on the front cover of the Daily News. Today she's attacking a van with a green umbrella. I don't follow these stories but it's hard not to be aware of them. The latest on Anna Nicole involves a weeping judge. (I have no idea what that's about. I skim the headlines and move on.)

KC Feb 23 2007 12:10 PM

Jack's funny. I really thought when he and that Hemmer Hummer (whatever) dude were on CNN together in the morning that Jack was just going to beat the crap out of him one day.

Yancy - "The latest on Anna Nicole involves a weeping judge. (I have no idea what that's about. I skim the headlines and move on.)" The judge must have just realized that he had no paternity claim on Anna's baby so he's out of the inheritance lottery. It is amazing what the media passes off as being newsworthy now. The dumbing down of America just seems to keep rolling on as the years go by.

Can one of the you-tube experts find and post one of the judges carryings on? The man is a certifiable lunatic from the few short things I've seen of it.

Well, I watched that clip, and I don't understand it. There's a controversy about where to bury her? And it gets live national coverage? And was that Henry Winkler playing the part of the judge?

KC Feb 23 2007 01:56 PM

I love when he takes one last belt out of the paper cup at the beginning.

ScarletKnight41 Feb 23 2007 02:04 PM

I have never seen a judge become so emotional over a case before. Ridiculously unprofessional behavior.

metirish Feb 23 2007 02:12 PM

Apparently this fella is looking for a TV show,even made an audition tape,some in the media say he is such a clown that he made Ito look tame.....hamming it up during the case...crying at the end....

Total shutout so far for "shoot me now"--this is a classic pitching gem we're seeing here, folks, as the batters get up to face "shoot me now" in the final innings... Is the interest in these two oh-so-vapid ladies all about our pleasure in seeing how sadly disfunctional even fabulously wealthy and famous hotties can be? Guys are thinking, "See? I'm better off that I never hooked up with that gorgeous and popular babe I had a crush on in middle school because..." and women are thinking "See? I'm better off that I was an unpopular dweeb in middle school, because..."? Is this the fascination? It's like a morality play: O, how the mighty have fallen! Is this just about the schaedenfreude?

ScarletKnight41 Feb 24 2007 06:54 AM

No - it's about disinterest. Save for your apparent obsession with the topics.

KC Feb 24 2007 07:34 AM

I'm more interested in the fact that other people find it so interesting. I work in an office with a lot of yappers and it's amazin' to see them like vultures around the first few pages of the Post during lunch dissecting the days (un) events while there are a hundred more important things going on around them. Unpopular dweeb?

Yancy Street Gang Feb 24 2007 07:47 AM

Bald Britney wasn't on the cover of either New York tabloid this morning. She needs to do something outrageous again. The public demands it!

cooby Feb 24 2007 11:46 PM

I voted both equally riveting, as in "not at all" If that judge had his way, the flags would be flyin' at half mast for two weeks. What a ham.

MFS62 Feb 25 2007 11:33 AM

Its funny. Up to maybe a month ago, I didn't give a flying rat's rectum about either of them; Britany was just another drunken slut in the Lindsay Lohan mold, and Smith was just another gold-digging pig with too much makeup. But the events in recent weeks have made them tragic figures. As for story legs, the setlement of the ANS estate lawsuits may drag on for years. But Britney may stay around in a sort of Judy Garlandish existence for many years thereafter, if she doesn't also succumb to her excesses. As to why we are fascinated by the stories? I guess its the same reason folks look at car wrecks when they pass them on the highway. Later

Now that the "Where to bury those bodacoous tatas?" question has been settled, I will share my surprise that, in all the broohaha over the final disposal of her body, I never saw a clip on a single tawdry TV show beginning with a teaser taken from her famous presentation at last year's award show, with her strutting her stuff up to the stage and drunkenly, druggedly, leeringingly, slurringly, mumblingingly teasing the audience with the question "Do yuh like my bo-o-o-ody?" A remarkable show of good taste, I think. I can just hear Pat O'Brien: "And now the final resting place of that body, so well-liked and so hotly contested these last few weeks, is being settled in a Florida courtroom. Exclusive from Mary Hart live on the scene.."

soupcan Feb 27 2007 09:51 AM

'shoot me now'. However I am a bit interested in who the father of ANS' baby is. I'm also thinking that that Howard K. Stern dude killed ANS and her son in an effort to get a crack at the possible $500 million that may be coming the baby's way. He is the named executor of ANS' estate and if he is also the father he is sitting pretty. Or not.
