How Am I Supposed to Pay Attention to the News?

I'm slowly emerging from the news embargo, because to be perfectly frank, I got a little retarded. (I know, go ahead, my sister yelled at me too. "You can't say that!" she gasped, to which I responded, "You know, you're right. Let me correct myself. I got a little Triggy." You can't please anybody these days, can you?)

So I open up Yahoo! today, and this is the photo that is accompanying an article about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

I ask you. In particular, I ask you ladies. HOW can we be expected to read about important news and actually give a shit about it when the picture next to the article looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch ad?

More importantly, when's the next flight to Louisiana? No one looked like THIS on "Deadliest Catch!"
