Stupid Bullshit Americans Have Obsessed Over

But her emails...

The orange anus-mouthed evil puddle of septic tank crap takes up all the space. There's no room for B-listers any more with that D-list shit stain around.

"Stupid bullshit"?

How DARE you, OP!

HOW ... DARE ... YOU!

The Kardashians.

"Bill Clinton's blowjob"

Sir, that blowjob belongs to Monica Lewinsky.

The Jackson molestation allegations, and his family covering up for him

Anna Nicole Smith

OJ and Nicole Simpson

Dunkin Donut's donuts

Starbucks coffee

Pizza Hut

Grey's Anatomy

Go away, ChiCom. Don't you have a vaccine to manufacture? It's the least your country do.

Jesus

Lorena Bobbit

I don't know anyone who obsesses over your topics, OP. The only obsession I'm aware of is Trump and the corona virus.

The whole Jazzercise fad

The Bachelor/Bachelorette fabricated drama.

Housewives of Wherever fabricated drama.

*drops the mic*

the British Royal Family

👀You've gotta click on the link at R13👀

Russiagate.

Multiple births, like the Octomom.

The Pregnant Man

Another for Russiagate. What a hoax.

...........

.........

Monica Lewinsky

OJ Simpson murdering his wife and friend Ronald Goldman

Amy Fisher shooting Mary Jo buttafuco in the head.

Kobe Bryant

The personal, and specially sexual life of the politicians. At less that they are doing something illegal, I don't see why is relevant, I don't get why they should be saints, you suppouse to elect who is more qualified. They shouldn't be "gay" candidates, just candidates who are gay. Who you fuck is not relevant on most kind of works.

Balloon Boy

The colors of that ugly dress

Covid-19

By far, far too many to list here, as most Americans are daft. I will add Hydroxychloroquine to the list however.

(R18) and (R21) Russiagate Trump Trolls. Trump has been laundering Russian Mob money for decades through his real estate "deals" and crooked Duetsche Bank. Trump has hidden his taxes and stopped the investigations. He is guilty as fuck. He's grifter, anti-American scum.

(R22) and (R23) Yet MORE Trump trolls. Jesus fuck, are there more Trump Trolls on DL than gays?

Tiger King.

(R28) Annnnd yet another Trump Toll. Why not ask 100,000 dead Americans if they are Stupid Bullshit, asshole.

Remember Gangnam style? That was embarassing.

Stupid Bullshit?

I beg your pardon.

You mean my work of art. From start to finish.

R29, not most. Half.

Well, in all honesty, I’m currently obsessed about the fact that my abs currently resemble Britney’s @ OP’s thread pic.

Keeping them in that condition will be the challenge, as I just enjoyed a really big slice of chocolate cake 🍰! First one in weeks, so I’m gonna forgive myself, and forgive other Americans for being so relentlessly overwhelmed with bad news daily, that they long to tune out, or do tune out, and focus on stupid shit, because we’re all just trying to cope.

Sometimes, we need a break and some cake.

For realz.

Saddam Hussein.

Donald J Dump.

Angry Birds

Everything.

The Summer of 2001 was all about overblown, irrational fears of shark attacks; in the media and in the public consciousness.

Up through and including 9/10/01.

^Also Gary Condit.

The fucking British Royal Family. The most pathetic obsession any American could possibly have.

Exactly R43 - was just about to post that the B-story of the summer of 01 was Chandra Levy.

Casey Anthony

She was the "sex play got rough" chick, right, R45? The Ken doll killed her?

As it turned out Condit had nothing to do with Levy's murder. She was likely the victim of a serial killer.

No R47 - that was way back in 86 - Jennifer Levin and Robert Chambers in Central Park (with the candlestick)

Thanks, R49. I confuse Chandra Levy with Jennifer Levin and "My Sister Sam" Rebecca Schaeffer.

Rebecca Shaeffer.

Gluten.

Hypoglycemia.

Crocs

#MeToo!

R42, while we Australians greatly enjoy the American obsession with dangerous wildlife (our best defence against them till Covid-19), I seem to recall they were preoccupied with something else during the late summer of 2001.

Disney World

Lil Nasty X

R55, I assume you mean 9/11? I can't think of anything else. I guess that was technically summer, but I think of it as fall. Anyway, yeah, I'd say that was an understandable obsession, considering it was the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. I seem to recall it was a global obsession for a while. But maybe you mean some other obsession. Anyway, 9/11 was already mentioned upthread.

We did have a good laugh when that douche Steve Irwin died. When will his kids follow suit? I see they still like to wrestle crocs.

R58 - you're being way too defensive. R55 was referring to my post at R42 -- the media and the people were obsessed with shark attacks that summer - if you are too young to remember that look at the Time magazine cover I posted, and chill out.

That's a lot of referencing, R59.

I'm a footnote whiz R60

The thing is after 9/11, celebs news and real news have become indistinguishable. The media presents them as equally important.

Greta Thunberg

Royal Family

Melania's eyeslits

R62 - that has really been the case with American journalism for quite awhile - the real problem is filling all theses 24 hour news channels with worthwhile content. You really can’t, so lots of nonsense is given “equal weight” just to fill endless airtime.

Cut v uncut.

The way people obsessed over Clinton’s blowjob like they’d never had their cocks sucked before was bizarre.

r66, Bitch please. I have never.

Yanny vs Laurel

Pint-sized harlots.

Dr. Gundry and his dreaded lectins.

Natalee Holloway

The Macarena

One Sweet Day

Forrest Gump

It's Friday, Friday

Gotta get down on Friday

Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend

R 68 thank you that is a hilarious reference I'd forgotten about (and true- people could not shut up about it for days)

^^^ for R68 ^^^^^

R75 Rebecca Black!

Obsession with virginity and losing it. One of those rights of passage manufactured and pushed by Hollywood that remains meaningless in much of the world. I’ve been to countries where a person has to think when you ask them about the first time they had sex or don’t flinch when they hear someone in their 40s has not had sex.

Trypophobia (invariably photoshopped).

Baby Jessica

Lesbianism.

Right, unless you are female, is losing your virginity really a significant moment for anyone?

^ It is for Americans.

R84, for men though? Especially gay men? I only think the whole "virginity" thing is a big deal to American women.

Howard Dean’s yell. People were so outraged that it stopped his candidacy dead in its tracks.

Look where we are now.

Vince Foster, Obama's citizernship, Benghazi, Hilary's emails and now Obamagate and something else to do with Hilary (something stupid).

Are you kidding, R85?There’s an entire genre of movies dedicated to the American male’s quest to lose their virginity. It’s depicted as a big deal.

While we are on movies, it seems as if none is complete without a standard sex scene. We have to see the Male and female protagonists ripping off clothes and in the throes of passion. Sex between real couples is usually very banal in real life.

Not stupid, but Americans are weirdly obsessed with peanut butter. Just like Italians with their Nutella and Australians with their Vegemite, you’d think they’re the foods of the gods if you heard these nationalities talk about them.

Certainly not me.

Blinding white teeth. Blondes. Guns.

Buffets.

Female twins making out with each other.

What was [italic]that[/italic] about?

Skinny blondes with big boobs.

That dancing baby phenomenon from Ally McBeal. Why was that even a thing?

[quote] Not stupid, but Americans are weirdly obsessed with peanut butter. Just like Italians with their Nutella and Australians with their Vegemite,

Well, I guess you could always overlook this, but there are things called “facts,” which do indicate that peanut butter is actually good for you.

^ Yeah. Like Americans love peanut butter because it's "good for you". Like that has ever stopped them for hotdogs.
