Playboy's Hugh Hefner, girlfriend call it quits.

I've just been perusing CNN.com as I do everyday in an attempt to stay informed. I was reading about the continuing drop in the stock market and some tidbits about the presidential nominees. Then I looked at the popular news section, where it shows the top ten most read articles of the day and number one was "Playboy's Hugh Hefner, girlfriend call it quits". Thats right, the most read story on CNN today is about Hefner's breakup with a girlfriend. The man has had more girlfriends than anyone else on the planet, which obviously leads to the most breakups of all time. Add that to the fact that we currently have some incredibly important issues occurring in this country as we speak, and explain to me WHY people care about Hugh Hefner's breakup??

It's no wonder this country is so screwed up. We idolize a man who has made plastic women and complete extravagance the meaning of his life, and many of us don't even bother to vote for the next person to run our country. We watch Britney Spears' mother on TV talk about whether she regrets letting her daughter pose in her bra on the cover of Rolling Stone at age 17 instead of helping our own children with their homework. People should probably start caring more about their own lives right in front of them than the lives of bored, rich celebrities who have nothing better to do with their lives than create shenanigans that will get them on the "news".

Annndddd I'm done.
