IS THERE NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT?
By Fayner | March 21, 2008
The virus that is TMZ really has dug itself into a dirty, dark corner since its birth however long ago it started.
You see, celebrities take breaks from being douchebags every once in a while.
And when that happens, what becomes of shows like TMZ if there’s nothing worthy to report is they just report on whatever they have…and usually it ain’t worth shit.
Take last night, for example. So, the TMZ people, who have no actual journalistic skills (that is, they can’t create news stories without the help of the celebrities themselves) past hunting down famous people and videotaping them until they either say or do something worthy of print, ran into New England Patriots Q.B. Tom Brady waking (gasp!) down a street (gasp!) in New York City (gasp!) to his girlfriend’s apartment (gasp!) with a mysterious box under his arm (gasp!).
Okay, so any true news source would just let this one go, right? What possible news is there to report from this? Nothing.
Oh, but we’re dealing with TMZ here, kiddies! And TMZ doesn’t care what a celebrity is doing, they use it anyway and invent a story from whatever they got.
So what became the story with Tom Brady last night?
What was in the box.
Come again?
Yeah, that’s right, TMZ used the story of a simple man with a box visiting his girl and proceeded to invent some sinister or romantic or sneaky reason for why Tom had a box that wasn’t clearly marked for them to know the exact contents of the box.
And how is this news???
Oh, and I’ll admit that on many occasions I’ve made up shit about people in my industry, but at least when I do it it is funny. Funny goes a long way if you ask me.
So TMZ’s piece on Tom Brady last night involved them wondering what was in his secret box?
Are they serious? Is there really nothing else going on in the World of celebrities.
Today I am a man ashamed to be a journalist. Thanks, TMZ.
And if you are at all curious about the contents of Tom’s mystery box, I’m sure TMZ is doing a week-long piece on it next week. Good for them, ’cause I for one was up all night wondering and worrying about it.
