Do people around here *really* care about Bobby Brown?
"Here" specifically meaning metro Atlanta news/talk radio listeners.
I've had AM 750 (news/talk radio) on for about an hour now, and I have heard the story about Bobby Brown going to jail for a parole violation at least 5 or 6 times. Is my head in the sand here? Do people listening to this kind of station care about Bobby Brown to the point that his parole violation is the hands-down #1 news story of the morning? I don't get it.

99.9% of the stories about 'celebrities' I could care less about. Unfortunately, other people do so, we have to constantly here about them...

Are we talking about Bobby Brown, the washed up singer or is there some Atlanta celebrity with the same name?

people get stuck on trivial topics and then inflate them into monumental issues.

Every time I see/hear a story about a celebrity, I cringe. Especially the kind in which they talk about weddings or breakups or crap like that. I just don't care, and I don't understand why other people do. Who really gives a crap about Ben Affleck and J Lo - honestly? Is it not apparent to anyone else that they are just together to promote an awful movie and likely will be out of each other's lives in the not too distant future? Or that Demi Moore is only dating someone like Ashton Kutcher because she's trying to get back into Hollywood and he's young and appeals to a large segment of the movie-going population, most of whom have never even heard of Ghost (lucky for them)? Are people oblivious to this, or am I missing something?
To be sure, there are news-worthy celebrity stories. Like it or not, Kobe is news-worthy. Yesterday's article about his accuser not showing up for her sophomore year of college - I can't believe they printed that. What's next? "Kobe Accuser Not Regular; Mom Buys Metamucil"?

WSB standard for news is waaaay down. I never listen to them anymore. All sports talk for me.

Eh, that's just WSB trying to make it's demo a little younger. Well, that & the fact that it's a relatively slow news day so far. After all, our SAT scores aren't exactly "news" since we already pretty much knew how that story would turn out.
We went through the same sort of thing with Lisa "LeftEye" Lopes & Howard Rollins in the past. Just imagine how much play Elton John would get here in a criminal case

What? Don't you see the comercials? Ten years of the lottery has solved our education problems. Our kids are doing much better than ten years ago. Considering we were 48th in SAT ten years ago (that's from memory, but I believe it is correct), we should be in the top 20 by now, right? Right? |

Somewhere, Terrance Trent Darby scores a handful of $5 crack-rocks in the hopes of turning Whitney into his 'tender roni' while Bobby's in the clink.

Well, CNN has this as a "Top Story" in the top right column of stories right now. Amazing.
