Earhtshattering!

All I wanted to do was point out to someone the following headline:

"Pitt falls to Navy in double overtime"

And explain that the news world is so screwed up priority-wise that I misunderstood the classic reporting of an American pasttime to be a story about the nouveau American past time...

I thought, "Now why would I care if Brad Pitt is working over time? Is the soccer team he's raising really starting to be such a burden to feed?" I knew that as a college student, I am not accustomed to 'real world' problems like paying bills but I seriously worried for a moment that I had greatly underestimated 1. costs of babies and 2. how much money Collosalactors get paid.

And the enlisting in the Navy? Is celebrities going to war back in fashion? That was a pretty awesome career move on Elvis' part.

But No. No no. Too many US Weekly's infiltrating my brain. Any combination of a celebrity's name and a verb with a negative connotation (i.e., "falls") screams "Personal Life Invasion Story." I'm sorry, kids. Sports is out, Monday Night Celebrestalking is in. As long as there are still cheerleaders. And beer ads.
