I was appalled yesterday to see several major media outlets covering such bubble gum topics as "Offensive Abercrombie & Finch T Shirts".
With the war and corruption in government has the US Media dropped the ball or do people just not care?
I remember hearing a comedian say how he believes Americans are "Eager to be offended"
Is this what drives such non-stories into our Media other than things that really matter? IT OFFENDS ME!
I would be offended if my child were to come home from some godforsaken hell hole missing a leg or worse so G-Dubs buddies can make a few dollars.
I am offended that the Oil Companies just posted record profits.
I am offended that the US Government strong arms people that don't play along with their crooked "War on Terror" by exposing their loved ones and putting them in harms way.
I am offended that our Government does not have the well being of the common citizen as their 1st priority. (and they haven't for a looooong time)
But I couldn't care less if Abercrombie & Fitch sells a T Shirt that reads "I had a nightmare I was a Brunette" If you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT!
With the Media turning a blind eye to such injustices will America ever be able to WAKE UP?
