I hate to roam into the gossip world, but Defamer made me laugh out loud (that's LOL to you kids reading), so I had to share. Their snarky comment on the following events were classic.
If you haven't heard (and shame on you, by the way) some woman hooked up with Vince Vaughn around the time he and Jennifer Aniston broke up. (I can't believe I'm typing these words. I need to go shower.) She wrote an email about her evening o' fun to her friends, and obviously, it blew up on the Internets.
She responded today which included this passage:
"What happened to me these past weeks was unfortunate, yes, but I am certainly not alone. Every day in the media, people are criticized, demeaned, and laughed at without rationale. We take pleasure in hating celebrities and public figures for no reason other than that it makes for good entertainment and money-making outlets. There are more Web sites and magazine articles dedicated to hating and gossiping about Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton than to informing young people about the crisis in Sudan, or the conflicts in Lebanon. We follow Britney's first nights out without Kevin more closely than we follow America's first female Speaker of the House. Is this really where we want the priorities of our culture to lie? Will the time ever come when our concern for the evolution of our world is greater than our obsession with others' personal matters?"
Well, Defamer was NOT about to let that go. They wrote what I would describe as... the perfect response:
"She very may well have a point about this country's untoward obsession with every tabloid-documented celebutard gossip-fart over important world affairs [Ed.note--Research intern: Is Sudan the place that Clooney goes or where Angelina buys orphans? Or both? Also: Has this Speaker lady ever flashed her cooter getting out of a limo? Let me know.], but we have a question of our own for the collegiate cultural critic: Does Vince smell like Old Spice and licorice drops? We always kinda hoped he would."
