Things that I should care about (but don't)

There are some things in this world that you should really care about, but no matter how hard you try, you just don’t (care).

The War in Iraq for example is little more than a brief distraction for me while on the way to Calvin and Hobbes in the morning. I know I should care, people are getting killed for heavens sake, but frankly I find it all rather boring.

With that in mind I decided to compile my list of things that I should care about but don’t:

Match Fixing in Tennis: So a few tennis players took a dive in five, who cares, it won’t end the war in Iraq.

Princess Dianna Inquest: C’mon already, this must be inquiry number ninety-one. Couldn’t you just let sleeping dogs lie? It was a terrible accident; sadly they happen, even to the rich.

Anything Championed by Bono: I agree with much of what he says but no man in leather pants is going to tell me what bloody light bulb I should use.

Michael Moore’s Films: Who is this fat bloke and why are we watching him? Like Bono, I agree with much of what he says, I just don’t like actually looking at him.

Fundamentalist Christians: I should care that they try and impose their will on everything, but truthfully, I find them rather amusing.

George W Bush: In all the years he has been President of the most powerful nation on earth, my life has not changed one iota.

Tailgaters: I realise that you are in a hurry and that your time is infinitely more important than mine, but I’m still not getting out of you way. Go around.

Elections: I try, I really do, but somehow there is always something else on TV.

Porn Marginalises Women: If the chick is doing it for the cash and doesn’t mind hanging her bits out, then who am I to worry.

Celebrities: I don’t care who Paris Hilton is banging this week because its obviously not me.

International Football Friendlies: Sadly they make fans pay hard earned money for that crap. For shame.

There you have it. I could go on all night but have to get back to work.
