Certainly a commentary on what Americans (at least) value about competition. Oddly, the result of that chase was pretty well known. But what interests us is rather strange. My daughter and I were just talking yesterday about this sort of thing. Why does Lindsay Lohan get any attention at all? She never did much to begin with, and everything now is completely predictable (and has been--entering a clinic? just change the date of the event and run the same story). Kim Kardashian? Wedding, divorce, got in bed . . . . lather, rinse, repeat. What I don't understand is that it isn't like we have a dearth of talented people doing the same thing.

At least we have been spared Paris Hilton for a while (not enough eye-roll emoticons in the world . . . .)
