Brad Pitt and and the Media Pit Bulls

I stood patiently in line awaiting my opportunity to pay for my foolish purchases at Walmart last night. Looking around to find mental stimulation and finding little to observe in the human activity around me, I let my eyes fall upon the magazine covers arranged for just that purpose along the walls of the funnel I entered.


I saw a picture of an attractive, but disheveled, set of parents walking along surrounded by littlekins of varying sizes and ages. The headline shouted, "IS BRAD PITT LOSING HIS LOOKS?" I looked again. Well, how about that? It was the ol' Pittster and his housemate of the last few years!

This was all I needed to get the brain-wheels turning. I mentally rewrote the headline: "HAS BRAD PITT FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING TO DO BESIDES GROOM HIMSELF AND PREEN IN THE MIRROR 24/7 ?" He actually looked very good in the photo -- he looked like he might live next door. He looked like he might have just mowed a lawn or fixed a toilet. He looked as if he might have prepared a meal or played ball with a child. He appeared to have let an hour pass without a shower and haircut. He might have taken a break from posing to actually live awhile.

What kind of shallow life do the mediahounds expect people to live if they think a person is "losing his looks" because his hair is unkempt, his clothes are wrinkled, or he's broken a sweat? Just wondering....


BTW: the pic shows them after they cleaned up a little.
