The Fount of Useless Information Recommends T-Shirts

I need a new t-shirt, and I'm thinking that this might be the place to find the one. Over at Free Katie, they are campaigning to free Katie Holmes from the nefarious grips of Tom Cruise. Is it any of our business? No, of course not. Does it really make a difference in my life? Not really. No. Is it the site amusing? Without a doubt. Is it wrong to try to free poor Katie? Possibly, but certainly no more wrong than having to witness Tom Cruise go completely psychotic on Oprah. Only Rob and Amber of Survivor/Amazing Race/Rob and Amber Get Married quasi-fame are a more annoying couple, but even they were not truly ubiquitous like the TomKat. If buying a t-shirt can prevent us from having to endure Tom proclaim his love each time a camera goes by, then don't forget to don your Free Katie shirt before going to see War of the Worlds.

If the campaign fails to free Ms. Holmes, I can only hope that the vows at the eventual wedding go something like this:

Minister: "The couple has decided to write their own vows, which they will now read to each other."

Tom: "Katie, I can't imagine living my life without you. I've been trying for days to find the words to express the way I feel, and I think I've finally got it. 'Katie, You can be my wingman any time.'"

Katie: "No, man. You can be mine."

Now, go forth and purchase.

Until later...

Hey man, I stumbled upon your blog by following a rabbit down a hole, I mean following a link about the Free Katie shirts from the Kidd Kraddick In the Morning Radio website here in the D/FW Metroplex (that's Dallas/Fort Worth, TX). I had to check it out because I LOVED the title. I too am a fount of useless information, so I was inevitably drawn to see what you had to say. Browsed several of your entries, and I like the way you think and write! I just recently started a blog, but have only written one entry so far. Having trouble finding time to think about entries and write something remotely interesting and clever, at least before midnight (it's 11:30pm here and I have class in the morning at 8am). Anyway, enjoyed your musings, and I think I'll add you to my favorites list. This whole blogging community thing is very new to me. I'm a 51 year old (but I don't act it or look it) mom and grandmom who is starting a new chapter in my life, going to massage therapy school (almost done - 8 days to go!). Keep up the good writin'!

I just think the whole thing is ridiculous. How do you fall so head over heels in love with someone in just 6 weeks?! After being in a 6 year relationship with someone else (Chris Kline). I guess he wasn't famous enough and she has got to know that she wouldn't be getting all of this attention if it wasn't for Tom Cruise. Come on Dawson's Creek!! They both need to remember just 2 names; Ben and JLo. Look what happened to them after being too public and being seen way too much.
