I heard Katie Holmes lost her virginity to Tom Cruise at a Press conference.

I just saw this on CNN, and thought sarcastically to myself "what a great MeFi post that would be.

Really, how much does the average reader give a shit about this? Is there anyone that appreciates this post?

Hey, hey, hey! Now give the little fella a break. He's only wantin' to share with us one of the great tradgic stories of our time... Amazing, Talented, Good looking actor at the height of a career, riding the crest of true greatness only to be struck down by tradgic misfortune. It's the age old story of young handsome actor meets bottle... In the head... I only hope that - oh sod it, I really lost concentration after the first couple of 'hey's. What was the point of all this again?

WTF drunk guy? You don't like celebrity filter so your going to make your point by trashing the front page with this nonsense? Here's a solution: just contribute to the problem until it catches someones attention. Remind me to go piss in your bed next time I smell urine in the elevator.

I'd ban your monkey ass for this if it was up to me.

Disney technicians went though scenes showing the actress jumping up and down at a motor racing track and altered them with a computer program — reducing her bust by up to two cup sizes and raising the necklines on her T-shirts. (Times--UK)

This might have been redeemed if there had been no comments. As it is, I say you aim for the record- which is at fuck-knows-what these days. Have they hit 2,000 yet?

From Amberglow's link:

"Paul Dergarabedian of Exhibitor Relations, which gauges audience reactions to movies, said such cuts reflect growing uncertainty about the place of breasts in Hollywood."

I must ponder this sentence for awhile longer. It is so bizarre on so many levels.

Fuck you and the sock puppet you rode in on, a thousand writers drunk at the keyboard. Using the front page to score points in a MeTa thread you weren't happy with is the equivalent of taking a huge steaming shit in the middle of the MeFi living room cause you're mad at someone in the house next door.

If this doesn't get deleted, then I'll fucking join the "MeFi is in its dying throes" chorus. Because it will be, then.
