Celebrity magazines
When I see someone on the train reading Closer or OK, I have to repress the urge to go up to them, snatch the thing out of their hands and say "You are an adult, for Christ's sake!"
I know it's none of my business, but when I see grown-ups reading stuff that has fewer words per page than some of the things I read to my 3-year old, I despair of humanity. I'd respect them more if they were reading The Beano.

agree
In my supermarket last night, an older woman was reading some celebrity goss mag, but she was hiding in the cleaning section. Probably going to put it back when she finished. I gave her a 'you're pathetic' stare. She ignored me and went back to Tom and Nicole.
At least she didn't buy it.

I assume her lips were moving as she was trying to read it.

No brain power left for lip movement.
All used up on word-pointing...

Women and poofs don't count as adults because their tiny minds are ALWAYS going to be preoccupied with mindless shit.
Which is why they should NEVER have been given the vote.

And in a DECENT society would be issued with a ballgag at the entrances to cinemas.

Never a truer word
I was passing through St Pancras on the day that Closer magazine first went on sale. There were racks of the damn thing everywhere.

Unfortunately, the marketing monkeys who'd designed the campaign has stacked the magazines so that each initial C was covered by the adjacent issue, so that they appeared to be called "Loser"...

I Couldn't agree more
I seem to recall when the nation was grieving when Diana died and making a national prat out of it's self, some woman turning on the journalists reporting the spectacle, yelling hysterically it was their fault.

No lady, it was your fault

I would say it was both of their fault

Do they read them?
I once watched two girls sit on the train in the seats opposite me and they had a couple of celebrity rags. All they did was gossip with each other and flick a page over every few seconds without actually looking at them.
