I love the ability of being able to read the latest news headlines and articles online and for free and I fully understand that the free platform has to have advertisements to offset the charge of buying the paper.
What I find very sad and annoying is that on some of the tabloid sites the side columns are taken up by female and z-list celebrities that years ago would have gone unnoticed. Add that to the fact that a major part of the online real estate is lost to these brainless and self-centred obscenities.
All these young girls on the main are dressed in skimpy outfits and are so stick thin as to make one vomit. That also makes the young girls in society try and emulate these overpaid zeros and spend money on fashion that neither they or there parents can afford.
Why does the world have to know what colour bikini Ms Pop-singer is wearing or the beach that some reality star has visited? Can’t some folk sleep or exist unless this information is displayed for their pleasure?
Why can’t they just be incorporated into the column’s articles rather that have a whole section dedicated to their over-bearing status? Can’t these people see that they are damaging our future generations into believing that everyone can be a pop idol, actor, social dignitary or reality star who are paid to be dumb, wear bad fashion and lead a seemingly perfect and exotic life? Don’t people understand that it is mainly all a sham made up by papers to void their bowels on society?
Live concerts by these trendy newbies has to rely on displays and light shows rather than musical content and ability as on the whole they have none. It just goes to prove how shallow our younger generation has become.
Take the Old Guard Bands like The Rolling Stones, the reunited Led Zep, and many more such names and the contrast is very different. These guys had to cut their teeth on playing the clubs/pubs, recording albums and seeking agents to promote their work and if you couldn’t make the grade you were left behind. Today anyone can shoot and record a video, overlay some sound and edit the finale score to post online. Yes this may prove trendy and cool but in reality they are forced-grown pap to ensure the platforms that promote them can remain in business.
Society is changing at a very fast pace and I must say that I am not a huge fan of most of these changes.
I like to read online rather that have to go to a shop to buy the news. I love the Ai speakers and technology that enriches my home’s entertainment. I do have positive emotions for a handful of cars. I am in awe at how quickly and easily one can keep in touch with friends.
However, I cannot stand the cheap and tacky fashion industry that is destroying the market and raising the costs of a wardrobe. I find it morally crass to see reality taking over society. I abhor the lack of new quality entertainment to play on this updated technology. I loath most of the modern designers of cars with their lack of individuality as most cars today look the same but as I stated above there are still a few that slip through.
So please, Mr Tabloid Online Paper Editor, stop this side bar advertising of all things crass and unreal and concentrate on bringing us news items worthy of publication and have a core of truth and sageness. In other words get out of the office and become real journalists and newspaper people.
