Feeling depressed and angry at the world and the widespread sickness that has overtaken the human race as a whole??

Me too.

So I did a little experiment. For one week I didn't watch the news or visit any website that contains news headlines or a news ticker or any mention of current events.

This was difficult for me as I always like to keep up on current events just to be in the know and have my facts straight for when I have to argue with idiots.

But after one week of not hearing about senseless deaths, government corruption/incompetence, babies getting their faces ripped off by wild dogs, celebrity breakups, school shootings, and Britney Spears' latest breakdown...I felt at peace and and almost stopped hating the world.

When the day came to end my experiment - I went to CNN.com and within seconds was bombarded with news of parents killing their baby in a microwave, a patient killing her therapist with a meat cleaver, hundreds more civilians blown up by suicide bombers in the middle east, and the BREAKING NEWS that Britney Spears is just as fucked up as she was yesterday so the media will continue to harass and exploit her in the hope that they drive her to suicide so they'll have something real meaty to report on for the next month.

So to all the news media let me extend a heartfelt "FUCK YOU"

To the rest of you, encourage you to try my experiment and boycott the news for at least one week. If you want to keep up on the presidential race, do what I do and ask someone. I guarantee 100% that you will feel better as a whole and maybe if the media organizations stop making money of sensationalism and human suffering - they'll have to change their ways.

That is all.
