Careless Reporting

It's hilarious how this week's issues of Life & Style and In Touch Weekly both ran half-page exposes on Pink's new man- "Butch Walker." Apparently, they've been spoted making out everywhere and there's pictures to prove it. One problem-- THE UGLY DUDE IS NOT BUTCH WALKER!





This is low for even a tabloid. Wouldn't you at least fact check the guy's picture and Google Butch Walker???
Tsk, tsk...

P.S. The REAL Butch Walker is happily married and even TMZ didn't know who he was when they posted a video of him as "Avril Lavigne's friend" getting into a tiff with paparazzi. Should I go work at these places?


Just as aggravating is Perez Hilton posting that My Chemical Romance's Frank Iero married "some random chick," instead of doing something real journalists do everyday-research! Then he could have posted that Iero wed his long-time love, Jamia, who runs Skeleton Crew with him. Or something like that. Anyway, Congrats guys! You looked beautiful.



What's the lesson to these tabloids? Don't try to report on things--like actually cool musicians-- you don't know. Or at least do your research first!

Anna Nicole Smith is dead.

We have soldiers and civilians dying in Iraq and Afghanistan everyday. We have people starving everywhere. We have women and children being sold to human traffickers (not to mention my favorite, being raped legally in various countries of the Middle East). We have all sorts of shit going down in Darfur. We still don't have cures for AIDS or cancer. We have skyrocketing rates of autism in America, most notably in New Jersey. We have global warming and an oil supply that won't last more than forty years--tops. We have the existence of shows like My Super Sweet Sixteen.

And this "tragedy" is the big, breaking story on the evening news?

God forgive me, but I have more important things to worry about.
Hopefully you do, too.
