Living in Taiwan, I can honestly say that I’ve never seen Jessica Simpson’s MTV show. Never seen her music videos played here. I don’t see her on the covers of Taiwanese fan mags. Heck, it’d be hard to even FIND People Magazine here, even if you wanted a copy.
The news then, in case you haven’t heard it, is that she’s getting a divorce.
And that’s why I pity everyone living in America right now. For the next 6 months, if not longer, you’re going to see tabloid headlines in the grocery stores about someone else’s broken marriage that you’d rather not see. The story will be impossible to avoid on the soft TV news programs. The MSM will somehow work the story into their legitimate reporting, while Barbara Walters will conduct breathlessly earnest interviews about the subject during prime time.
As for me, I was mercifully uninformed about the whole "Bennifer" thing when it came and went, and I’m sure that this will be no different. Sometimes, ignorance IS bliss.
