Ugh....this Ellen/dog rescue thing is everywhere....

[vi5]

Every show I turned on, every radio program, in the newspaper when I opened it up. I mean seriously is this for real? I'm sorry this story is the complete encapsulation of everything that is wrong with American pop culture and short attention span theater.

Michael Vick story breaks
The American People respond: "Oh the poor dogs! How could anyone do this to such wonderful creatures! I'm shocked, horrified, and offended that these dogs could end up in such a horrible environment!! Boo Hoo"


Paris Hilton/Nicole Ritchie/OJ/Whoever get away with crimes
The American People Respond: "This is horrible. I can't believe what famous people get away with. One set of standards for them and a different for everyone else. It's disgusting. Harumph Harumph Harumph!!"

This whole Ellen/Dog story:
The American People respond: "Oh that's just a silly rule and c'mon I mean it's Ellen. She wears pants suits and sneakers and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about myself and lets me believe that I actually care about things. Can't they just let her give the dog to whoever she wants. I mean it's Ellen. She dances funny so of course she couldn't possibly have anything but the best judgement in the world as to who should and shouldn't take care of a dog."

Ugh. I need to go back to bed.
