What happened to baby stuff???

[finn's mom]

I don;t care if they bought a sonogram, and think that it is nice that they will donate it to someplace that needs it. Why criticize them for that?

The only annoying thing is that this is considered "news."

I agree 100%. $200,000 isn't much when you have the kind of money they do. And, if they want it, go for it.

Wouldn't it be great if we had the "ignore" button to use on our tv's, newspapers etc. Then we could just block them out.

So true. Ha ha, but, actually...you do sort of have an ignore button. I didn't even know they were expecting. The ignore button I use is absolute, I just simply don't watch anything that would tell me about that kind of junk. Tom Cruise has just become someone I'm not interested in, and, I'm super glad that they're happy, but, completely uninterested in them at all. Not quite sure what it is about them that bothers me, but, there's something. So, I just don't turn on the news.

I'm so glad I don't have a TV. So what if he bought a sonogram machine? Is it pointless? Maybe, but so are my breyer horses....they make me happy. If being able to watch the baby every moment up until its birth makes them happy, great!

Who cares how she wants to have the baby either, as long as no harm comes to either of them?! Some people choose not to breastfeed, some people choose to have their babies at home rather than in a hospital, and apparently some people try not to make any noise as their baby is born. It doesn't make any difference in my life, so I see no reason to make a fuss over it. Everyone has to do what they feel is best for them and theirs.

I just wish the news was news with 4-5 min of entertainment crap tacked on at the end, instead of 20 minutes of entertainment with a little hard news tacked on at the end. (If they can find room between the overblown weather forecasts and the sports)

I haven't watched CNN, FoxNews, Headline News, MSNCB, et. al since I left a position in the military where I HAD to watch it. Every once in a while if I already know there's something of real importance going on I'll tune in to one of the cable news channels to see if they've got anything about it. Yellow journalism used to belong to the tabloid newspapers, now it seems most news outlets practice it.

I now watch the news with what I call the 1/2 minute test.

If within the first 30 seconds of news, if they don't launch into something really newsworthy - then I can assume it is just a regular newsday and it will be mostly garbage and plugs for that networks other shows.

Car chases seem to be big here in California and if there is one - they will stay on top of that for hours - cancelling all of the other programing.

I reckon they could get a decent one for $200 - just think how many kitties could be saved for the leftovers!

Anyway, what else is news in the USA! Isn't it amazing what crap they'll send on TV if nothing exiting has happened! It's the same here.
