Stop Buying Gossip Magazines

We can all thank Bonnie Fuller now on my little web talk show here. Let’s all just stand up and give this woman a big, fat, sarcastic round of applause please. If you don’t know who she is, she is the woman responsible for the proliferation of glossy gossip magazines and paparazzi culture we have moved into in this last decade. Sure, there were these gossip magazines for years. But they carried laughable stories about Bigfoot or other discreditable stories. They were more of a countercultural phenomenon than a culture and society killer. They were not the disgusting PR machines they’ve become now. Now, they are destroying our culture. They tell people who to care about, what to wear, whose enviable today, whose going to be fat tomorrow. They dictate material aspirations. But the worst part is, they don’t even do it based on their own preferences, or their own research of products to see which ones they like or find best. No! They just feature the brand that paid them the most for the page. And those brands include the stupid people in them. The stars being covered have publicists that pay for this coverage. Or, the stars being covered are being harassed by paparazzi or other disgusting means to be caught in degrading or disgusting postures. It’s all gross, and it all feeds on the worst of our culture and society. Not to mention they read like a transcript of an idiot’s internal monologue. Which is why I made this incredibly thought-provoking video in particular for my online show. So people, STOP BUYING GOSSIP MAGAZINES! If we stop buying them, we stop supporting the industry, and the industry must adapt to our better tastes. ‘K? So I decided to cover it on my awesome web talk show.
