Before They Were Stars

Before the Heene family flew, Icarus-like, too close to the sun that is America’s fascination with all things bullshit, they cut a music video in which they vowed “not to be pussified”:



You just can’t make this up. Our media got punk’d by professional publicity whores who have been pitching a science-based reality show to the networks, whose last great grab for attention involved pimping their kids in a bad rap song.

CNN cut away from a presidential speech for this? Does no one over there know how to hit teh Google?

And we wonder how they got the whole “Saddam has WMD” thing so wrong.

Hindsight is 20-20, of course, and now a few columnists are even saying ”we weren’t the only ones who fell for it!” Oh no you don’t. You will not get away with that. You’re the freaking news media. It is your job not to get this shit wrong!

I'm so tired of our media sucking in this country.
