(blank look) Who’s Conan O’Brien? (Yes, I know who he is. I just don’t care about the late-night talk show drama.) ---

I don’t care about any pop culture in any medium. I care even less than you people. ---

At first I didn’t really care. Then I found out that he’s getting millions of dollars for being a fuck-up. Just one more coal to fuel my white hot rage. Beware World I Shall Have Revenge!! ---

Yes, that - paid millions for what? FAIL, is what. He was not a success. He failed. If he was any good, people would have watched his show, and they didn’t. It makes me queasy, the huge amounts of money thrown at celebrities, but I suppose that goes with the territory. Thank goodness this long national nightmare is coming to an end and some other stupid celebrity mishap will cause the nation to hold its breath. ---

If large sums of money thrown at celebrities makes you queasy, the 32 million dollars Conan is getting (partly to _not_ do another talk show for a while) ought to make you projectile vomit.
