I remember a time when watching the news was something less than a visual and auditory treat for the eyes and ears and was more akin to slow torture over hot embers. No, really, it was that dramatic.

You’re a kid of 10 and all you really want to do is watch GI Joe; but instead your parents have the exceedingly boring news on. Dan Rather drones on and on like the teacher in Peanuts and you are forced to learn about the important stories around the world. Such a shame.

Now, though, things are different. Now you turn on the news and you get The NEWS! Now you learn that Cameron and Justin have indeed broken up! You guys, they’ve broken up!

In fact, they Timberlake/Diaz camps released this statement:

We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends with continued love and respect for each other.

Well, at least it sounds like they parted amicably… I’m so relieved!

What? No, I don’t care if Greek militants waged a rocket attack on a US embassy, or if John McCain defends Bush’s Iraq strategy… for god’s sake people, Cameron and Justin broke up!
