I think that hollywood is more of a measure of where we are as a country. Where are interestes are. On about the third day of the Anna Nicole "death coverage", I heard some stats stating the news organizations in general were running about 60% Anna Nicole, and 40 % the rest of the world. I find that pretty shocking.
There are many challenges that face us as a country, but we as a country choose to rivet ourselves to affairs of a deceased bimbo, hillbilly ho' (albeit, with a great rack) who croaked on a methodone bender.
We routinely hear about the latest "who shot 10 kids" at a school, or the current Mcdonalds drive by with passing boredom, yet you cannot turn on the tv and not be bombarded by endless hours with the idiot twins, Joan and Melissa, touting the latest from the current red carpet. I think that is a problem
