No kidding. I love how people are dying of cancer every day; but, the next study on how chocolate lowers stress will probably be out next month.

Don't forget "sunshine makes people happy; winter makes people depressed" and "Men like women with large breasts"

Or, people who eat a balanced diet live longer and feel better than people who only eat Dorittos.

And studies show people should leave their homes at least once a day.

My favorite sort of "stating the audience" thing is sex addiction. Did you guys read that Jesse James has checked into "sex rehab" to save his marriage to Sandra Bullock. Maybe I'm just cynical, but equating "being a jerk" with "sweet talk"

I think he had to go to sex rehab because, so far, no one has started an "asshole rehab" or "here's how you at least attempt to be a human being rehab."

"asshole rehab" - I think you're onto something @jenmac! How much money do you think we could make starting a "interpersonal sabotaging rehab" for celebrities who need to pretend to be contrite for being caught out for being jerks

@Everybody: I know many of the articles and stories printed by newspapers and TV news websites is primarily for sensationalism. They do it just to fill print space. Some content is actually educational and informative, while others are redundant.

ajadedidealist: I think we're onto something. We would make a fortune! We could just teach people the normal human response to things and make them mimic it until they can go back into the world and do it on their own.

@JenMac Angelina needs asshole rehab, from the stories going around. She's one of the few women in the world who manage to look bitchy even in photographs.

"asshole rehab" - I think plenty of New Yorkers could use that. We could discuss topics like "bitchiness addiction," "struggle with being-a-decent-human-being," and "breaking the cycle of being horrible to people!"

I'm sure celebrities would pay lots of $$$s to make it look as if they were working on being better people when you just know they were gritting their teeth and secretly wishing the plebs would leave them alone to drink/take drugs/cheat on their spouses/etc some more. What if one day a celebrity were to say "Yeah, I cheated and I'm not sorry. My marriage is a sham for publicity and I'm a bit of a jerk but since I'm famous I'm going to have sex with all the hot women I can!" That'd be something else!

@ajadeidealist And, on that note, I'm suddenly conjuring a whole retail world aimed at those same assholes. Teas with names like "bitchiness balance" and "marriage sham fruit mambo" could be the new IT drinks for the new sub-prime human being.

I wonder if people are unfair to Angelina because she is so stunningly beautiful (in the face). I know things definitely get made up - do you guys think the world is harder on her for being so abnormally gorgeous?

I also wonder if anyone who is an asshole would actually want to become a decent human being.
