The reason that you see so much about T.O. is because he's watercooler gossip. People are tired of watching the violence in the middle east. People are tired of watching the depressing things that you're talking about. People would much rather hear about a cocky professional athlete who took a dive off the deep end and took a bunch of pills.

As the world develops and it is only natural for the super-powers to hand of the physical labor jobs to less developed countries to become country full of white collar jobs. This hand off has been going on for a very long time, think about it. Lets take for instance feudal England, during the dark ages, when every "province" under a king was a small country. Would the king or nobility be down with the peasants in the barn working, no they would delegate it out and they in tern would provide "services" such as protection(even though sometimes that wasn’t the case because of corruption). It comes down to the powerful wanting physical labor done for them, and in tern the provide services. Sucks, but that is how the world turns.
And as for T.O.......Personally I could care less, I try not to watch main stream media, however people do need a break from all the violence and war. BUT that breaks down into the fact that the media cannot even out information, Such ad the good/stupid with the bad. For them it is all BAD, or it is all STUPID information.
