The Most Important Thing In The World Right Now

[David Sklansky]

Is getting to the bottom of the OJ sports memorobilia breakin. Its the top story on CNN and I assume most news shows. And though the producers and commentators on those shows may think that other stuff might be more important, they know that that isn't what most people want to know about.

Please tell me why you (or even Jesus) should care about them more than your cat.

it's similar to the ending of woody allen's manhattan. about how people stress about neurotic crazy things because if they had to worry about real problems they would go crazy.

I mean, let's face it, there's gonna be nuclear war (iran) and a global financial meltdown within a year. the plebes need something stupid they can relate to to worry about.

I don’t know who “them” is in your last sentence and I can’t make heads or tails of your question. But if you are asking why people care about this new OJ development, then it is because people have a sense of poetic justice. OJ is a murderer, that got off Scott free and has been playing golf every day since. If he ends up going to jail for a much “smaller” crime, especially if he spends a great deal of time in jail, then this will be a hoot for the general public. Why? Well imagine a vicious murderer that escapes justice, then one day this cocky s.o.b. steals a stick of bubble gum and go’s to jail for 20 years. This scenario hugely appeals to peoples imagination of justice and revenge.

Thank you for correcting my spelling. At least I usually get the subjunctive tense ( or mood ) right. As in the future subjunctive: If I were to die tomorrow. Something I learned from you. I really do however need to work on those possessive verbs.

The most important thing is not the same as what people want to know about...

[Lestat]

You can be sure the most important thing in the world to news execs is ratings. People love seeing celebrities self destruct. Just ask Britteny, Paris, and that Barrymore girl.

[Splendour]

The most important thing in the world right now is knowing he's not an example worth a second thought...More of an example of what not to be like reality tv...But of course reality tv will probably succeed in brainwashing the younger generation...because its A-ok to do just about anything as long as you get the attention and/or the money...

That surely doesn't make it the most important story in the world! I can't think that anyone would really think this is the most imporatnt thing in the world. LOL. I stand to be corrected! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
