Last night I was in the gym for a few hours. Monster Gym has these new flat screens up everywhere, showing sporting events and news. Guess what the hot topic on CNN was last night? Apparently, some media types have said that Tyra Banks is gaining weight!.... after some mock "fat" photos appeared on the internet. Every time I looked up at a screen, there was Tyra, very upset that some people say she has put on a few pounds. They had photo montages, interviews, and Tyra looking very hurt.
Is this what we have come to? The major news network in the US is covering a story that at best, is a gossip mag story. With all the real "hurt" in the world, this is what we focus on? There is hunger, war, domestic violence, sexual predators, etc. There are good stories, about people doing great things, like, helping other people, inventing things, curing diseases, etc. You know real hero stuff. BUT, millions of people are sitting around the world glued to the tube, wondering if poor Tyra is going to make it through this terrible ordeal.
No wonder the rest of the world thinks North Americans are self-centered, small minded, morons. It's just a thought, I'll have to wait for Oprah's take on the whole mess....
Peace,
K
