Wouldn't it be fun if attention was a fungible resource? Wouldn't it be a hoot if one could gather up all the interest, outrage, splutter, time, effort, energy, worry, anxiety, in short, all the attention, that we give to celebutard dimbulbs and convert it into something useful?
It wouldn't even have to be very useful for it to please me. All the sick worry and attention devoted to Jon and Kate Plus Nausea converts into the equivalent of six months of dedicated research into Egyptian funerary practices? Bonus! A deeper understanding of Egyptian funerary practices might not make the world any better, but at least it doesn't make it any worse, which is more than can be said for the TV show in question.
And Britney Spears? Jesus! We might well have cured cancer by now with all that attention!
Is That All?
