There’s a certain well-publicized “feud” between two very well-known people. I’m not naming any names. That would only encourage them. (And I’m cynical enough to consider that this whole debacle may only be a publicity stunt in the first place.) They call each other names. (Very mature!) Wah-wah-wah. Babies. I’ve heard it described as “hilarious.”
It’s not funny to me. It’s not entertaining to me. It’s embarrassing. We elevate these people to celebrity status and give them a public platform and this is how they use it? Shame on them. But I can’t entirely blame them when they get so much media coverage when they do act this way. Shame on us. If I wanted to hear people argue and call each other names, I’d go home to my family….

Amen. I couldn’t agree with you more…except for the family comment at the end. I’d just go to work and listen…..
Yeah, I was kidding about the family. All of the screaming and name-calling is really at work. ~Tim

It’s all about publicity, darling. I even got my daughter in on the act. I have no plans to ever quit, and am currently gunning for Big Bird.
You’re not fooling anyone, Rosie. ~Tim

I was surprised at how shallow they’ve both been. Donald was on The Today Show last week, and Meredith Viera was trying to corner him and ask him why he keeps talking about her. I had to give him credit when he said “I’m not, you guys are the ones that keep asking and I just answer.” The media just needs to leave it alone.
I don’t suppose it occurred to him to answer “No comment” or “What a stupid question! Why don’t you leave it alone?”…. ~Tim

I wish both of them would “mysteriously” fall off the face of the earth… they’re like the King and Queen of Annoying.

I’ve been trying to teach my puppy that butt sniffers are not popular amongst the humans.
Ick.
