Five Things I Don't Want To Hear About Anymore

There are a number of reason why I don't want to watch the news anymore, and the primary reason is that I find most of them too negative and too senseless. But goodness knows there is no avoiding it. I would have to literally live in the mountains or under a rock to be able to completely avoid the news.

If I could wish that some news programs would stop airing news about certain topics, this would probably be my short list:

1. Kris Aquino. It's great that there are hardly any news stories about her now, but this woman's life is too much of an open book.


2. Ruffa Guttierez and Ylmaz Bektas. It's a private marital quarrel that should have been kept private. Couples fight and reconcile and fight all the time; what's so special about their fights?


3. Starlets baring for fame. There was a time when artistas were popular because of the movies they made and their talents as actors, and not because they exposed their skin for the cover of some men's magazine. There's nothing new with naked skin anymore; actual talent is actually wanting these days.


4. The GMA remake of MariMar. So Dingdong Dantes and that new MariMar girl had steamy love scenes and cavorted in a bathtub. Who gives a rip?


5. The "Hello, Garci!" controversy. The taxpayers' money have other, better uses than to fund the continued investigation of a long-winded scandal that has totally lost meaning already.
