I am always observing and commenting on the decline of our society, especially through the prism of our pop culture ( I watch way to much T.V.) and just finished watching Ben Lyons on E!. He was interviewing Byonce about Who knows I don't give a shit and of course i started thinking about him and what he represents to our culture. He is a Movie Blurb Whore, a phenomenon that drives me crazy insane. Great reasons of why they do are here:

and here by the great Mr. Ebert:

Well, as I was watching Mr. Lyons, the usual strong dislike started to come out until i had an insight. Instead of disliking Him i realized that he is a symptom of our Cultural decline. Not just any symptom but the final stage, and in his case it would be Movie criticism. The fact that he's the one that took over Ebert's spot and he "seems" to be America's top critic means that we have reached a "Systematic cascading failure of the system which manifests itself in the emergence of the One" and if he's a representation of the One's of our culture, we're in Deep Shit.
