Nation Divided Over Dancing?

On the news this morning, one of the top stories was the conclusion tonight of "Dancing with the Stars" and how the results are dividing the nation.

Seriously?

I mean I understand people taking sides on who they want to win, but dividing the nation into anger for whoever wins? That's a little much. As is shooting your tv over Bristol Palin being saved, despite not being as good of a dancer as Brandy. Yes, I was upset that she's made it this far while other people I thought were better dancers were voted off, but not enough to take such drastic actions.

See it's stuff like this that makes Americans looked down upon in other countries. We put so much attention on celebrities and reality tv competitions, that other things of more substance are forgotten about, especially this time of year. There are so many people out there struggling this holiday season. Why aren't there more stories about ways to help those in need with food, clothing, and toy drives, for instance. Or places you can go volunteer to help people. Let's not have a divided nation over a tv show and instead be one united to help others.
