Priorities or not as the case may be.

For some time friends have suggested I start a Blog.I always felt I had nothing to say but the recent events surrounding a footballer and his indiscretions finally convinced me. I fully agree that no one regardless of financial status should be able to muzzle the media. Having established that I suppose that now the press will inform me of the material and colour of his underwear if any and all the sordid details. Do I , indeed do any of us really bloody care. Our servicemen are loosing body parts and dying in various parts of the world. The Chinese tsunami has endangered the lives of many who lived in the area and particularly those who work in the Nuclear plants. Starvation kills thousands of children all over the world and Dictators kill their own people to retain power. In this broken and sorry world do the ups and downs of a footballers trousers really justify front page news. Obviously from todays news they do, but what does that say about the media and more importantly about our trivial society.
