Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more BUT...-->I will be completely honest. When I watch the Academy Awards I really get emotional seeing all the celebrities that passed over the last year. Creative people who made a mark on media.<\/p>\n<p>That being said&#8230; I am finding it really f&#038;#*ing hard to have any respect for someone who I&#8217;ve heard more about dead than alive. I don&#8217;t care who she is. I don&#8217;t care who she dated. And I really don&#8217;t care that she was a playmate of the year in 93. I don&#8217;t care that she may or may not have been a gold-digger.<\/p>\n<p>At least Norma Jean had talent and added to media history.<\/p>\n<p>I realize this is cold and callous but I really feel like this is an engineered story for the masses and we really don&#8217;t need this kind of stuff anymore. There are good people out there who accomplish things every day. And they don&#8217;t get one &#8211; one MILLIONTH the attention that the crap in the tabloids sell.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I&#8217;d like to hear more of the good&#8230; and have to hear less of the trash.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to respond to this with something you feel you&#8217;ve accomplished. Something you feel good about. No matter how minor or inconsequential you might feel.<\/p>\n<p>feel free to pass this on. Maybe we can actually get a feel of good news worth sharing.<\/p>\n<p>(Fuddy duddy&#8230; signing off)<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2093\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/11\/media-captivity-day-3-minus-15-minutes\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2093\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/11\/media-captivity-day-3-minus-15-minutes\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-2093\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/11\/media-captivity-day-3-minus-15-minutes\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/11\/media-captivity-day-3-minus-15-minutes\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead Caveat: This is a rant.
