Paris Hilton for President...?

[Sperge]

Paris Hilton has made a presidential video:



It's a spoof video in response to comments made about her by John McCain.

Oh dear. Well, could she be any worse than that idiot who's been in the White House for nearly eight years?

A bit more here...

Do you read Hello magazine Paul?

[Sperge]

I got it from the BBC website, actually. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7544754.stm

Do you read anything at all, Calla (apart from messageboards)?

[shakyjane]

it might surprise you to know I do read newspapers everyday.

god knows why though, i think its pretty shocking how they can still be called NEWSpapers anyway because its the fucking same every day

fuel prices, scottish independence, a whale caught in shallow waters

sounds like the newspapers in scotland are much better than the ones in london...all we get is celebrity news, madeline mccantfindher and really shit, uniteresting and unimportant business news.

Not to mention all the endless celeb tittle-tattle (like the opening post in this thread ).

Why do you think I'm so disillusioned with the profession and want to leave it?

'the news' to be should be gritty, real-life shit - politics, economics, health, reality - not fiction, celebrity culture or bullshit 'lifestyle' features. this is what all the other 5 magazine racks in a newsagents is for - the shitty magazines as i call em.

my mum buys some celeb magazines and they serve a purpose in my life - something to read when having a number two. and it goes hand in hand

Unfortunately it's what the Great British Public wants. When newspapers do try to cut out the celeb crap, their readership plummets and they quickly lose their nerve as the accountants are in control these days and have been for a long, long time.

i've got a horrible feeling an alarming number of people confuse the latter with real life. but they seem happy enough so what the fuck do i know?

spot on

i couldnt care less about these types of articles, they make a good reading when having a shit or trying to pass time on a long train journey by playing the 'try to give a fuck' game (i always lose)

it alarms me, though, how the papers always have a few 'buzz' stories, such as the madeline mccan one, and even though there is nothing to report, they insist on priting loads of garbage on the case and thus filling the paper with a 'caring' story that twats who think britney spears new fella is news can absorb.

you have to sift through 20 pages of shit to find a 'good' story, which, lets face it, is always a grim one.

Just buy a proper newspaper then, The Independent or The Guardian for example, or The Times, if you don't hate Murdoch.

Oh and buy it weekly on a Saturday so you're not reading the same shit every day. It'll take you all week to read the weekend editions anyway

He speeeks de trooth. Or the torygraph has quite good reportage if you can read through the right wing bias.

The online edition of The Times is particularly good now. But even the serious newspapers have too much celeb tittle-tattle for my liking nowadays.

see i have an issue with most of these papers too. murdoch is a cunt so the times can bugger off

i dont like a lot of the middle class, posh language in these papers, although the quality of the articles and reporting is a lot more to my standard. i guess what i like about the shit papers is that when they do report on something decent, theyll give you a bit of background so you know the story a bit more, and will 'dumb down' the language which helps me to learn a bit more about it.

then again, ive not bought a newspaper in about 2 years. i only really read them to pass time on the tube, although i guess if i get a job that involves communiting by bus or tube ill start buying them again
