No wonder I never outgrew my teenaged eyerolling phase

"While I admire the talent of Johnny Depp, I was extremely disappointed to see him on the cover of this week's issue instead of George W. Bush. When has the entertainment industry become more important than covering the presidential election and honoring the man chosen to be our Commander-in-Chief?"

When you picked up a copy of People magazine, you halfwit.

Sheesh. I guess the moral of the story is, no matter how bored you are waiting for the chicken to roast, be wary of the People letters page. Here there be ninnies.

*splutters* And the person used the word "honoring" too.

Oh yeah, that made me twitch. Yes, let us honor our evil overlord. Oy.

Exactly.

Ain't that the truth! There's always an issue or two lying around my doctor's office, and the letters page never fails to astound me with its stupidity.

Just... the obliviousness of some of these people. Okay, looking at the source, I'm hardly expecting Pulitzer-class observations here. But basic logic? Reading comprehension? Some knowledge of what magazine they're holding? I hardly know what to roll my eyes at first!

(Yay, Ezra! That icon always makes me happy. *g*)

They frequently remind me of some of the more obsessed fen one encounters in fandom. These are the kind of people who spend hours trying to decode the sooper sekrit meaning behind what color pants Elijah Wood (or Julia Roberts, or whoever) wore to the grocery.

(Yay, Ezra! That icon always makes me happy. *g*)

Then I will use it again. I like making friends happy. :-)

LMAO Oh geez.

And it happens all the time! Some space cadet writes in whining, "why isn't blahblah current event or blahblah politician on the cover?" Because it's an entertainment rag! It has the Sexiest Man Alive and the Worst Dressed in Hollywood and gossip about who's fat and who's skinny and who's made of silicone! Come on!

Wow, I think I just used up my quota of exclamation points for the week. ;)

LOL Back away from the keyboard. ;)
