I totally understand. I'm the nicest, most consistently correct and right-thinking guy you've ever met, and you're an emotional wreck that's too preoccupied with a fantasy world you found on the internet to see anything clearly, which is a shame cause you were born unable to listen and nobody can understand the things you say.... I don't really like Helen Keller jokes, but people that know them could tell some and just put your name in place of hers and they'd be just as funny.

Geggy Ya know that in the late 90's/early 2000's during barry bonds's superhuman performance, his foot size grew from 10 and half inches to 13 inches, his jersey size went from 42 to 52 and his head size went from 7 1/8 to 7 3/4 in a span of less than a year?

Survey Says: Too much celebrity news!

As we all know, no one at I-Mockery loves a good dish more than me, but even I think that the news is devoting too much time to celebrities.

News is too scandalous for Americans: survey
By Paul J. Gough
Thu Aug 2, 10:51 PM ET

Americans blame the media for the saturation of celebrity coverage on TV.

A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for People & the Press said Thursday that 87% of respondents believe celebrity scandals get way too much ink and airtime. Only 8% think the media get the balance between celebrity and serious news right, while 2% told the surveyors that there wasn't enough celebrity scandal coverage.

There's been no shortage of scandals to report on in 2007, from the death of Anna Nicole Smith and the subsequent custody battle over her infant daughter to the jail saga of heiress Paris Hilton. Despite the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a presidential campaign already under way, celebrity stories oftentimes have taken over the news. Pew found that 24% of all news was devoted to Smith at the time of her death, while 12% of all Americans said in early June that Hilton's incarceration was their most-followed news story of the week.

The survey found that cable news is most to blame for the ongoing celebrity coverage, with 34% of respondents saying cable news had the most celebrity coverage, followed by network TV news (27%), Internet news sites (15%) and newspapers (8%).

None of that type of celebrity news topped last week's list of the most followed topics, Pew said. Twenty-five percent of survey respondents said they were following the Iraq War most closely, though Pew noted that only 3% of news coverage was devoted to the story. The presidential campaign was singled out by 12% of respondents, while 12% of all news coverage featured it. Also on the list last week were the deaths of a Cheshire, Conn., mother and her two children in a home invasion, along with Iraq policy, the stock market and the saga of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Also receiving interest from news consumers was quarterback Michael Vick's dogfighting allegations, the continuing controversy over the home run record being chased by Giants slugger Barry Bonds and the NBA scandal over a referee who bet on games.

The survey sampled 1,027 adults from July 22-27.
