Default Proof that GT is isolated from the real world.

All that prattle about NSA, Syria, Obama, the Republicans, crappy government, etc.

But not one thread about Paula Deen being dropped from the Food Network!

It's on the front page of CNN and Fox News so it has to be important!!!!

But no one here cares about the important stuff.

Only THE absolutest mostest importantest person in the whole world! No I can't back that up. I think she has some sort of cooking show on TV.

But she is on the front page of both CNN and Fox News so she must be doubly uberly important.

Oh...so now we're posting before I can get to a thread?!

I deserve this honor.


Paula Deen is a southern chef on the Food Network. I honestly wouldn't have known about this if I hadn't read this thread.

She doesn't meet any of the SubSim GT criteria. Not a politician. Not a terrorist. Not a conspiracy theorist. Not a Swedish sailor.

I recognize a lot of the people on the left. Unfortunately I know the person on the right, but not because I want to.

Nicola Tesla. Don't worry, I had to make a guess and look him up.

I think 6/10 is great. (Especially since you got the same ones I did.)

Who is the one on the right, anyway? It looks familiar (which saddens me, somewhat).

The black woman is a Somalian born Dutch politician/writer/activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali she is rather unpopular with Islamic fundamentalists.

The man to the left of Darwin I can not recall his name but has been discussed a few times on Subsim before his is an atheist and also a bit of a misogynist but he is more well known for being atheist Skybird is a big fan of him.

The one on the right is a New Jerseyan that appeared on an MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" Snookie I know this because my sister has a dog named Snookie it is a mocking name.Also if people are 100% honest you know someone who knows who she is anyway and by hear say you also know who she is and I can also honestly say that I knew he she was because co-workers have discussed her many times.

In my opinion it is not who you know in the world it is what you do to improve this world.That and some people it may be better that they worry about Paula Dean and Snookie and not about other thigns.

I hate people like ^^^ that...

Sorry...but it's a pet peeve. It annoys the crap out of me.

Sadly, it's mostly the people my age that are like this. For this reason, I'm ashamed to hold the title of a teenager.
