It's probably just me but is anyone else getting fed up with this fascination of celebrity bawling ?

Most of them are paid actors so their crocodile tears do nothing to make me have sympathy in general. 

I know I'm mean and callous but it's all just my increasing cynicism of the new fascination the media seem to have developed.

Just wondering ......

No, because it's just a drop in the ocean of nonsense I have to filter out everyday.

There is that , it's a fair point . 

I've filtered it so much, I don't even know what the OP is about...

Crocodile tears???  Darling! those people suffer for their art

And if you can't generate actual tears then just flap your hands in front of your big, sad eyes

Same, though keeping meaning to get a TV and having other things to spend money on possibly helps.

When I get a job I probably will do...

I only really watch any TV when we rarely get downtime and I'm forced to and regularly balk at the inanity and childishness of the dross that sloshes out from the screen. And people get vulgarly rich participating in the whole pantomime. Am happier with my blinkers on.

I'd quite like a TV sometimes, if one searches about there's interesting things, if one goes beyond 'auto pilot'.

Outdoor gear, clothes and socialising are more immediately important.

I speed read it it as celebrity brawling, so was disappointed!

No idea. I don't watch any reality TV, or soap operas etc.. it's all just bilge. I can't even listen to r2 on a Saturday afternoon now as it's become a 2 or 3hr advert for it, with Claudia how shallow winkleman. 

What's yer favourite owl? 

... Filter this at your peril, buster! 

The filtering is so fast, there's no ti

Ha!... Only semi-filtered?

Hoist by your own petard!. .. Which is still infinitely preferable to being hoist by your own pet owl.
