As I listen to yet another story about Mel's drunk night out,

[cornermouse]

his anti-semitic ravings that night, and the morning round of multiple demands for personal apologies being followed endless apologies from Mel, (not that he doesn't deserve it, but does it have to be on the news?) I think...

1. Why?
2. Who cares?

Has the media sunk so low that this is now a story with the same level of importance as what our government is up to?... the state of our economy?... a stock market that appears to be suspended in mid-air?... the entire Mideast going up in flames while Nero fiddles?...

Edit. And no, I am not a Mel Gibson fan. I don't particularly care for the type of films he stars in.
