Morons who care about stupid "celebrities" in Beverely Hills, but can't name the capital of Nigeria or even the name of their own governor. Congratulations, you're what's wrong with this world.

i follow pop culture but im also very interested in worldly events and politics.

so, stop being stereotypical and let people enjoy whatever they want.

although i do agree, i dont think that shit should be on the news and i dont understand why it is!

---

why do you care though.

---

Because they are dumbing down my country and brainwashing people into worshiping some idiot like Kim Kardashian, instead of someone like Albert Einstein or Thomas Paine.

---

What does the capital of Nigeria have to do with anything? All that would mean is that you are a nerd with an atlas.

---

I used that as an example, in fact most of the idiots that watch Jersey Shore probably don't even know where the entire continent of Africa is located.

People don't know the capital of Nigeria because it's information they will probably never use in their lives. Knowing this kind of stuff is important for social interaction with other people of your circles.
Cause it really doesn't matter how much you know, if you have no social skills, you're fucked.

dumbing down your country? if someone is involved with pop culture it doesn't mean they're an idiot. I'm not into it so much, but that's my preference, it may not be theirs. maybe you should change the news outlets you look at if you're so annoyed by it.

That's not really "mainstream" media, that's entertainmen/pop culture news. It's a part of the mainstream but not the whole thing... Some people care about for some reason.

Those people are too dumb to make decisions for themselves, let alone for their entire country. Perhaps we should require that people take an intelligence test before they are allowed to vote?

Anyone who cares about a fake "celebrity" unfollowing another fake "celebrity" on Twitter, really is an idiot.

Let's see, genocide in Africa or Kim Kardashian eating a chocolate sundae? The sheeple would choose Kim Kardashian every time.

you sound like such a cliche right now.

like I said, if those are the news reports you're getting, you need to change your news source. no one is forcing you to know what Snooki wore on Leno, you choose to give it more attention than it deserves.
