Is there something wrong with the tabloids?

I regularly read tabloid headlines when I go to the supermarket and the headlines have been getting less and less interesting. Long gone are the stories about alien abductions, Big Foot, ghosts and cures for arthritis. There are no longer any stories about the characters in soap operas. I think soap operas are starting to die out. There are hardly any stories about movie stars. (Has the public caught on that their lives are no more interesting than anybody else’s?) There are all these stories about people in reality shows, which I don’t watch. And what is with every week telling how Angie and Brad are breaking up? First of all, no offense to either one of them, but nobody is that interesting. And secondly, how can a couple break up every week for years on end? This week I got a laugh when the headline said that they were back together again.

I think there is a serious problem, clear evidence that the country is falling apart. Either that or everyone has suddenly gotten smarter, which I find unlikely.
