That woman - her tone - her typically disingenuous, talk-to-me-like-I'm-a-baby voice and the assumption that humans really are just fish-in-a-barrel lining up to be controlled by a beautiful face & body are precisely what I find annoying and insulting in the MSM. I don't believe a single word she says. I've never believed the hosts of Entertainment Tonight or E, either. Do you?

Seeing this has renewed my pride in having rejected most of popular culture. I'd almost forgotten why. Thanks for reminding me, Yahoo.

Take a lesson from the blogosphere: keep it real.

Shame. Shame.
