Ten Current Topics That Are Taking Over Our Lives

People tend to believe they are master minds, however, eventually the stuff they bring to the table has been created by using 2500 different recipes, and unfortunately, people just don't want to consume it any longer. Here is a list of topics that are just taking over our lives:

1. Caitlyn Jenner- No hate intended, but it seems as if Caitlyn has become some sort of a super hero, and while it is great society is embracing her she is saturating the media, just like her step daughters.

2. Makeup contouring- We get it. Like we seriously get it. We have seen enough before/after photographs, articles, and videos showing us the power of makeup. Makeup does wonders; this really isn’t anything new.

3. Donald Trump- Trump is a troll that likes to push buttons to get the American public to push buttons. The more you type his name in that keyboard, the more powerful he becomes.

4. Stupid Weight loss products- Herbalife to It Works to Skinny Tea, we don’t care about wasting our hard earned money on your products, that don’t work.

5. Twerking- Unless its a cat doing it, we don’t want to see any videos of people twerking. It is overdone, and a bit too trashy.

6. Miley Cyrus Hate- There are many other annoying celebrities to despise. Cyrus may enjoy bringing attention to herself, but it seems rather mean for writers, and the media to consistently bash her. You never hear about her being rude on set, or treating her fans poorly. There are countless celebrities who have notorious bad attitudes, go after them!

7. All beauty is beautiful- Numerous blogs like to post articles about how female beauty comes in all shapes, and sizes. That is wonderful, and a great message to send. The problem is it can also be interpreted as women are represented by their physical appearance. Constantly focusing on a female’s appearance is unhealthy.

8. The Duggars- Let’s not let give these hypocrites anymore attention. Not only are they terrible role models, but they are not even slightly interesting, or entertaining. At least Honey boo boo made us laugh, right?

9. Kylie Jenner- We get it, the girl is hot, but lets move on and quit talking about her plastic surgery, and makeup looks, okay?

I’m sick of hearing about Kim Davis. She’s a despicable pos, but she doesn’t deserve all the media sensation she’s receiving, and probably basking in. Next thing you know she’ll be “That One Guy’s” running mate. (You know the guy… with the bad wig… and the constant blathering…you know the guy…)

I don’t know what makeup contouring is, but can you do it with the new Star Wars makeup? Because that would be cool.

Yes, because there’s nothing like our media, who must wear something out for all of us.

I tried makeup contouring and ended up looking like a clown. My husband was not impressed.

Thank you for your point in number 3 – ‘the more you type his name in the keyboard, the more powerful he becomes’ – some people and topics really can’t lose from any media coverage, good or bad!

But the collective media consumer just can’t say no, it seems. We would rather complain than just let things fade out.

  So in other words we are so guilty of making topics on the media popular! Good or bad

Because people consume this content and go crazy over it, media companies will keep making more.

Until we stop consuming all that nonsense, there’s this new form of contour where they use pink and different coloured concealers (or whatever they use for contour). It’s getting ridiculous!
