We Brits certainly can't claim it is our own, Big Brother originally came from Holland and we get enough of the crap American imports. Indeed, I expect Kimi's 'adventures' off track probably had little coverage here so that would be down to another countries media.
From my own point of view I don't care what he has done off the track, it's what's on it that's important.
Not only was my post poorly worded, but misleading, cofusing, and somewhat retarded. I meant to say the tabloid culture(and especially here in Southern Ca.) is growing to epic proportions!Quote:

Not in the least. I probably misinterpreted you. However, I think the "culture of tabloid interest" is much more of a European phenomenon.Quote:

You would think that would present a problem!
This is not a comment on Kimi's personal life!
But, it appears that around theses parts, (so. ca.) it would only present a minor inconvenience, and perhaps a slight annoyance!
As long as pre-nup's are in order!!!
Tazio - Paris Hilton? She's not as attractive as Jenni Maria, and she is as dumb as a rock. If Kimi is actually spending time with her ...Quote:

That was an attemp at allegory, with a touch of metaphor!
