His wife going into labor has been front page news all day. Honestly, who the hell could possibly care about this? Can someone point me in the direction of how we as a society can put an end to this bullshit once and for all? ---

I agree with you World Eater. This is so stupid. Right up there with Paul McCartney’s baby. Just another old guy, fathering another kid…and admitting to it. :rolleyes: ---

I think it _is_ a case of supply and demand. I don’t give a flying fig about Survivor or the Bachelor or Joe Millionaire, but apparently, there ARE enough people out there that do - in turn, bringing on endless ‘news’ and blurbs about them. It’s annoying, but it’s easy to ignore for the most part. Ava [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-the-fuck-cares-about-letterman-and-his-stupid-kid-check-in/211393.md?page=2)
