Taking the Low Road


I started watching ET (Entertainment Tonight) when it first started because it talked about new movies. It has slowly sunk to a tabloid show that talks about the problems of rich people. It is OJ's fault! On Christmas day they hit rock bottom. Instead of ending the year with tributes to Paul Newman or Tim Russert, they took about ten minutes to show old footage of Anna Nicole Smith (Long dead) and her brother (Longer dead) shopping for a buying a Christmas tree! This is bad on so many levels. 1. She never had any talent or accomplished anything. 2. Her brother committed suicide (three years ago). 3. She's been dead for two years! And 4. I watched it!

I resolve in 2009 to not watch the tabloid stuff of ET, Today Show, etc.

I wonder if that will stick? Focus groups will say NO.
