The 10 Obsessions of 2010?

Today, when I opened my Internet, I came across this article.  It was titled "10 Obsessions of 2010".  It definitely caught my eye, and I clicked on it to find out what it was all about.  I was curious to see what the top ten obsessions of the year would be, according to Yahoo! News.

Here is the list these writers came up with:

1.  iPhone
2.  Lindsay Lohan
3.  iPad
4.  "Glee"
5.  "Jersey Shore"
6.  Facebook
7.  Bedbugs
8.  Tea Party
9.  Silly Bandz
10.  Stieg Larsson's "The Girl"


I have to admit some of these made me laugh; partly out of how true these "obsessions" are, and partly about what it shows we Americans valued this year.  Not to diminish any of these obsessions, but it is honestly kind of sad that the last year is defined by watching guidos and their obsession with "t-shirt time" and "GTL" and following the lost cause of Lindsay Lohan.

 This article was very entertaining to me.  It's not necessarily that I  disagree with what the writers chose to include on this list, but more that I wonder what this list says about our society and our generation...
