"What's hot right now"

An article yesterday detailed a Louis Vuitton handbag: very expensive, extremely limited in number. It's an item to 'set apart the very rich from the merely rich'. Interview snippets with Mr. Frou-Frou Shopowner revealed this paraphrased nugget: "We appeal to very exclusive clientele. It's no longer about the item as much as it is the quantity produced."
That must be so because god was it an ugly lookin' bag. It was like seeing Rosie O'Donnell in handbag form.

After I read the article the first thing that flashed into memory was a television interview I saw several years ago, a roaming reporter gettin' the dirt by querying people on the street. The question she posed to a random Joe Schmoe was "What kind of music do you like listening to?". His reply? "Whatever's hot right now". It really makes me sick to my stomach.

Those are the people that have lost all taste in everything. Anybody who only likes music that's "hot right now" doesn't like music.

Oh, and I tagged you. For a meme. Tag! Go look.

Passionless people, is what I reckon they are.

Yep, most people are such sheep. They let other people (mostly advertisers) tell them what they like instead of deciding for themselves!

Dear Sir,

"Rosie O'Donnell in handbag form"? That's an oxymoron.

Dear Sir,

I agree. People need to think for themselves and not just like whatever's hot right now in music.
