i just watched an MTV expose on world opinions on the war against iraq. they interviewed a few people from a few countries and, surprise, every single one of them came to the ridiculous conclusion that the war is all about oil, and America is evil, yada yada... people have a right to their opinions even if they are wrong. what really pisses me off is that a source as influential as MTV can be as irresponsible to present such a narrowly one-sided view of a complicated issue. typical of the entertainment industry.

i'm convinced it can't be pure genetic stupidity fueling that intellectual vacuum in the entertainment game as much as the confluence of overflowing arrogance and shameless exhibitionism, coming into critical mass in the presence of adoring want-to-bes. but then again, if you get your news from MTV you're already an idiot.

if you're a religious person then you know that the God of the Old Testament was a mean SOB who killed sinners with fire and brimstone. saddam needs a little Old Testament religion. amen.
