I think these ppl, that read those trashloids & such are willing to pay four bucks for twenty some pages of crap & half truths.........

If it was all or even mostly positive, (how well lohan or brittney are doing @ the half way house) I don't think they would pay the four bucks IMHO..
...I dont pay anything D:
Library books are free. Lol, sorta.

And I hate celebrity gossip :/
My friend likes that though...she's a magazine person.

I think you cant really say who likes/enjoys what, because everyone has their own opinions. Some people like the negative, some people like the positive. Some people like both, some could care less about either.

There are many business that make their money knowing who & how to target certain segments of our society.....

How many magazine can you think of that are popular & focused on the positive?? DunnO, seems to me, dirt, scandal, sex etc.... & the more of that you can put in a story they better it will sell...........

I see...

Take out a stupid book like Twilight, and the whole world wants to buy it.

While "My Neighbor Totoro" is so...unknown...trully a tale with no antagonist, or evil.
Well, I guess some could beg to differ...

But I love Totoro!

This is like my favorite part!:

I love how he gets hecka happy about the rain drops, and the big neko NEKO! MEOW!!!!!

I think in real life, younger people like to find negative things about oldsters who at this point are all a bit wiser and wanting to pass on knowledge in a way their parents did thinking it will be appreciated.
And most youngsters could care less.
Although there's the rare one.
That encourages me to press on.
