Oscars? Schmoscars
Yep, its official, no one gives a damn about the Oscars, or according to the Excite Instant Oscar Poll, 44% of the 3452 respondents don't care at all (yes, utterly insignificant numbers statiscally but pretty amazing anyway). And I'm definitely one of them. I came across a blog last night (lost the URL though, sorry) that is giving awards to awards ceremonies for being so self congratulatory in the face of Armageddon, blissfully ignorant of the intense geo-political situation.

Why are the Oscars so worthless? Because N. Korea has Missiles Capable of Striking American Soil which means that they can deliver a nuclear weapon into our bread basket. They've already deployed Anti-Aircraft Missile batteries around Washington. And that means they are taking this latest threat very, very seriously.

Why go on with trivial shows of glitter and wealth that is just so much back patting that it makes me sick. All these rich nimrods congratulating themselves on how great they are while wearing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of borrowed jewelry and gowns and whatever. Its trite.
