Who is Emma Watson Dating?

I consider myself to be a fairly optimistic, generally cheerful sort of guy.  Of course, since I generally write here about the news of the day, I probably come off sounding like the world’s grumpiest person but I maintain that that’s not really my fault.  That particular glass is worse than

O.K., maybe it was a bit perverted of me to think she was hot when she was 12, but...

just half empty, it is filled with toxic liquids that smell bad and have nasty objects floating in them.

Anyway, there are some internet dwellers who are seriously never satisfied with anything.  For instance, even though I concentrate on the news pages, I must confess that I am easily led by tantalizing headlines and, for whatever reason, I do want to know who Emma Watson is dating and what Kim Kardashian has to say about the state of the world.  When I read the comments section below articles of that nature, there are two comments which are absolutely inevitable.

There are people saying “Why is this news?  Why are you even writing about this?,” and they are apparently oblivious to the irony inherent in the fact that this is what they are reading, and taking the time to comment on.  The internet is an amazing place, a vast city with many narrow streets catering to people with different appetites.  Some people like sites with pictures of cats dressed as pirates, some people like to swap recipes and some follow celebrity gossip.  Read or don’t read, but why complain?

Then there will be someone (I suspect a very unattractive male someone) who writes in and says “Why does everybody think this woman is beautiful?  Yecch!  What a dog!”  I have seen that comment made about Heidi Klum,  Drew Barrymore, the above mentioned Emma Watson and a multitude of other women I consider sex goddesses.  Really.  Does this anonymous keyboard Casanova think he is impressing the world with his discriminating taste?  They remind me of the guy in “The Princess Bride” who had absolute proof of what a genius he was.  “You’ve heard of Socrates?  Aristotle?……Morons!”

On a side note…I just did a quick review of past blogs to see which subjects drew the most readers, and two stood out:  anything to do with sex, and Harry Potter.  Which explains the title of today’s post.
