Thoughts on news....

As I was scanning some online news stories, some thoughts about news came to mind.

http://omg.yahoo.com/britney-spears-celebrates-her-26th-birthday-with-paris-hilton/news/4500

That link is to an article about Britney Spears's 26th birthday celebration. Though not appealing to everybody, it can be labeled as news because her fans may care. The interesting part of the news article is the option readers have to leave comments at the bottom. Though the people's opinions about Britney don't necessarily change the news, the comments offer a wide perspective on how people perceive receiving news like this. If they truly did not care, as some commentators stated, they wouldn't even bother reading and especially not posting about the article. These comments just show how trashy news like this does interest people, even those claiming to not be her fans.
