What was the most over-reported story of the year?

I have some in mind and I'd like to see what the Yahoo community thinks.

    The whole Brad/Angeline and Jennifer Aniston thing really pisses me off! We are in the middle of a war right now and people are more concerned with who's screwing whom, and quite frankly, it's NONE of our business.

    For all of the dumb people who think that murder, rape, and war are reported too much in the news, for you I hope all of those things happen to someone you care about and let me know how you feel about them then.

    All the media hype about celebrity "marriages" or babies born

    out of wed-lock to celebrities. They deserve privacy as anyone

    and to give them notoriety for having babies, HA. The media

    is helping to pull the culture of the American people into the

    sewer.

    Branjalina's birth of they're daughter is a close second to the TomKat wedding. Both of these were a total waste of media time.

    North Korea. They gave them way too much press. Iran too. Both countries got what they wanted - plenty of media time.

    Ok, I am really curious what your pics for overrated story were, am I going to have to wait 5 days?

    Obviously. Tom Cruise and KAtie Holmes. Who really gave a crap where and when their wedding is gonna be? His scientologist dumb butt can have their wedding in hell for all I care. But for real. Most over reported story this year.
