Breaking Old
This just in:
a family went hungry last night,
a woman died of breast cancer,
and a child was hit by a drunk driver.
In other news:
overpopulation, global warming, AIDS,
floods, droughts, earthquakes,
trouble in __________ (place 3rd world country here)
Oh, you don’t want that kind of news? Well, here’s the other:
Extra, extra:
The Summer fashion line is in,
Some B-list celeb did something you’ll forget about in 10 minutes, and
Whose beach body’s best?
Also included:
Sex, pregnancy, scandal,
Love, divorce, style,
Singers, actors, distractions
Is this your fault or ours?
