The Tall Poppy Syndrome

I went to check my Yahoo (Yahoo is a registered trademark, any use or reuse of Yahoo without express written consent of Yahoo Corp is expressly prohibited. Whomever is shitting in my alley please stop) email this morning and before I could sign in I noticed that the top story on Yahoo news was "Miss USA winners trips." Not, "Oil Spill worsens" or "Bin Laden smells like burnt camel hair", but rather that the latest incarnation of an ethnic Barbie doll (she's a Lebanese immigrant) can't walk in high heels. Joy! How TMZ of you, Yahoo!
