not as bad as dunder-mifflin but...

Every morning like clockwork the blabbing begins.

"I wonder if K-Fed will get custody?". "I know. Britney is crazy! She shaved her head!". "Did you watch Idol last night?" "Who's Anna Nicole's baby's daddy?"...

Occasionally I raise a truly newsworthy issue such as "Hey, did you hear the US has plans to attack Iran?". Such question is typically followed by a blank stare.

Seriously, the conversations here are soul crushing.
