A news headline today, "Suri Cruise Throws Toy Store Temper Tantrum." Really?! This is an actual newsworthy, headline-making story? For cr*p's sake, give me a break!

What other depressingly ridiculous headlines have you seen?

    The fact that I know the name "Brooke Mueller" should show the state the world is in.

    seriously they are sharing her list with the world? I can barely deal with my own kids lists like I have time to care about hers!!

    I get the poops at the "FACEBOOK CHANGED IT'S PRIVACY SETTINGS" news reports.

    Really? It's a website. Get a grip people, it's not newsworthy.

    We hadn't heard about her in a while. I guess her mommy or daddy is pushing a movie.

    "A bizarre attack with a light saber in Portland has put one man in jail tonight." - Just heard this on KIRO TV (Seattle). It actually made me look up and watch the news for a moment, LOL!

    Tom Cruise's daughter. And don't worry, you're better off not knowing.

    You know what I love about it though? How people are all, "My kid would NEVER throw a fit like this in public!" Kids have emotions and they throw tantrums sometimes because they dont' know how else to deal with their emotions. My kids don't always get what they want, and most of the time they handle it pretty well, but sometimes they have an off day and they meltdown. And yes, sometimes it happens in public. They're not robots.

    The Mommy Wars strike again. That's the reason this made news. The media likes to perpetuate the Mommy Wars because it gets them pageviews and controversy in their comment boards. Dumb.

    If I could quote a song...

    Come one, come all!
    Bare witness to the ****tiest show on earth

    American idols lip sinking zeros
    kids watching MTV looking for heroes
    N'sync was Backstreet
    Britney verse Ashley
    Axl Rose and Michael Jacksons nose

    I don't think I've ever cared
    I don't think I ever will
    Who the **** was Fred Astaire? (who?)
    And who the **** are you?

    Even if you erased everything
    And covered up the stains
    I'd still be the one here
    Questioning if anything's arranged

    Hey kids rock in roll
    shake hands with the devil and sell your soul
    Hey kids ask me "why?"
    everybodys gotta die

    Bush buys his voters
    Free love is over
    Anna Nicole's lost weight off her shoulders
    Cell phones with belltones
    Hootie and Manson
    Puffys now Diddy and Lopez hates Affleck

    I don't think I want to know
    I don't really ****ing care
    Take the rumors and the lies
    And shove 'em up your *kitten*
