"What is it about our collective decision-making process that has led us to this state of affairs where we spend much more time in the public forum talking about -- or receiving information about -- Britney Spears shaving her head or Paris Hilton going to jail?" Gore asked.

I equate the global warming hype with coverage of Britney Spears not wearing underwear. Not very exciting, over hyped, and pretty cheap.

Gore knows triviality and nonsense. He sees it in the mirror each morning and hears it every time he opens his stupid mouth.

Hilarious from a man who has achieved infamy from “nonsense”.

I think Britney Spears shaving her head is more important than an Albore speech.

"collective decision-making process"

This is Al's problem -- it's always stupid.

“The Assault On Reason”

Now that’s got to be THE perfect title for any book written by Algore.

Gore’s an idiot, but I agree with everything he says. The fact is with 24 hour news, cable needs material to fill air time, so they use trailer trash stories. And the sheeple lap it up. This is why Fox has national breaking news stories of a car accident in Georgia. But we’re in a freemarket economy. If cable sells and the people buy, what can one do?

Gore’s right about media obsessing on nonsense and trivia, they use a lot ink covering him.

He is right about the vacuous obsession with celebrity. But it seems it has been going on since the early days of Hollywood. I can't think of one H'wood celeb that I would walk across the street to meet. In the grocery check-out line, most people on the covers of tabloid mags I have never heard of.

Interesting about the grocery checkout lane. Why are all those tabloids sold there? How would it change peoples consciousness if there were magazines of religion, philosophy, etc there? Millions of people stop and wait at checkout lanes everyday and look at the same trash every time.

Because, you simple-minded lard-azz, as screwed up and off the beam as Britney Smears and Penis Hilton are, they are a universe more credible than YOU ARE!
