Screw Jennifer Wilbanks.

No, I mean it. Jennifer Wilbanks is a waste of resources. This is, as you may know, the woman who disappeared from her home days before her wedding, put her family through hell, wasted thousands upon thousands of dollars of search and rescue resources, made her fiance a suspect in her murder, lied about being abducted by Hispanic people, and then stated that she just got "cold feet" and needed time alone.

Now, I'm not sure what this woman's deal is. Maybe she just really was nervous about getting married. That seems legit, especially given the monstrosity that her wedding was going to be (600 guests, 30-odd people in the wedding party). Or maybe she has some sort of psychological disorder causing her to need attention beyond what she was receiving. Or who knows what. But the bottom line is: Get off my TV. Seriously.

While this woman is having a nationwide canniption, there is actual news going on. And even tonight, after she's been "found", the networks have to capture her every move. Now, had she actually been abducted or somesuch, national media attention would have been helpful and warranted. But she was faking it the whole time! And people are still watching this tripe? Honestly.

And another thing. When LaKiesha from the ghetto goes missing, no one gives a rip. But when a wealthy white woman disappears, everyone drops everything to find her. It's pretty disgusting. The same people oo-ing and ahh-ing over Ms. Wilbanks are the same people that think we shouldn't have bothered looking for Margarita Aguilar-Lopez. Because she's an illegal, ya see. Never mind that she's twelve. Ugh. People in this country, sometimes.
