So, you may have heard a thing or two in the news this week about a certain Academy Award winning actress having marital problems with her tattooed man. Now, I'm not going to give that disgusting homewrecker any further press by printing her name and/or picture, but I do have a question: How does one convince the media to identify you in EVERY news story as (
for example) Tits "Bombshell" McGee. Is her name legally Bombshell? Was it a self-appointed nickname? If so, how does it stick?
I'm asking, of course, because were I to somehow do something awesome (
like marry Nick Rhodes - hey, it could happen), would my name appear as Pinky "Pinky" Lovejoy (
just pretend that's my real name)? Or just Pinky Lovejoy? Because, come on. Pinky isn't really my name (
surprise!). Would the press call me Pinky? If I happened to accidentally beat up Sandra Oh in a parking lot, would I be identified as Pinky? Because if I have a choice here, I think I should go with Bombshell. I could be Pinky "Bombshell" Lovejoy. Yep, that works for me.
In other unrelated news (*
cough cough*), really People magazine? Really? Are we back to stating the obvious? Are your news articles aimed at making readers says, "Well, duh?"
I'm not sure which is worse: This headline, or receiving a "Breaking News" email from E online at midnight a few days ago saying that some Kardashian sister and her football playing boyfriend broke up (
and, yes, I know their actual names, but I don't care enough to write them out) - long after every online site I read broke the story. Get with the times, people. Breaking news means it wasn't announced a week before. Oh, and one more thing: NO ONE CARES. Sheesh.
