I don’t want to hear about famous people and their children period.\* \*Excluding the very few who have actually done something worth being famous for. ---

My assumption was that it was some cute euphemism for “doing the nasty”, which is something I don’t want to hear about or see celebrities or their children doing either. ---

You might not. I don’t. Regrettably many people do. I mean the Daily Mail survives on pictures of celebrities doing… laundry, a grocery run, coffee drinking… Without it, the Mail would have to survive on bullshit stories alone. WON"T ANYONE THINK OF THE DAILY MAIL!!! ---

> [@Zebra](#): > > I don’t have cable tv. > It’s really wonderful. I get almost all my news from people posting things on forums and social media. It’s an effective way to avoid anything you don’t want to pay attention to. It does mean that I can’t show off how cool I am by being annoyed at the coverage of things I don’t like, though. ---
