Things I don't care about

It's time once again for another installment of current media brouhahas about which I couldn't give a flying flip. Believe me, the irony of blogging about "news stories" which mean little or nothing to me, and thus providing them even more exposure (limited though it may be), does not escape me.

• The Olympic Games -- I haven't paid attention to the Olympics since 1980, when the US boycotted the Moscow Games over the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Granted, the USSR was in the wrong, but did the US need to punish its own athletes by not allowing them to compete in the Games? The ensuing tit-for-tat Soviet avoidance of the 1984 L.A. Games rang the final death knell for my emotional involvement with the Olympics. I fully realize I'm virtually alone in my lack of passion for this quadrennial event. Still don't care. But it's fine if you do.
  
  
• John Edward's extramarital affair -- Oh, for pity's sake. People cheat on their spouses all the time. It doesn't make it right, but it doesn't make it any of my business either.
  
  
• Pictures of the Jolie-Pitt twins -- Specifically, how much money People Magazine paid for them. At least the money will go to a good cause.

What are your favorite non-issues currently dominating the media?
