Conflicting Messages
Karin spotted these while we were shopping this weekend. Photographed them on the conveyor belt with the rest of our groceries, then immediately put them back on the shelf:
So….which is it? Are they getting married or are they splitting up? Come on Star/OK…I have to know!
This is a prime example of how certain unscrupulous grifters cater to our celebrity-fixated culture and how any bit of unfounded news will get suckers to fork over their hard earned cash. I’m curious where thier sources come from, and how one source can directly conflict with another. Do these rags even bother to fact-check their sources prior to going to press? Not being an avid reader of these periodicals, I’m also curious if they ever publish retractions and corrections should their stories turn out to be incorrect?
Facts are not the point. This is about drama, and the best narrative for the magazines is endless on-again, off-again.
These magazines are for people who are so disconnected from their communities that they fixate on celebrities instead of gossiping about their neighbors. Maybe that’s an improvement, maybe not.
