Quotation

"In a media-saturated age, you can really start to resent the amount of information you absorb, despite your steadfast disinterest, about certain utterly unworthy subjects.  It's like the data equivalent of secondary smoke inhalation."

-- Christopher Brookmyre, Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks

This is an awesome quote. Although I imagine it's actually "steadfast *dis*interest". This is exactly how I feel sometimes. I actually do slightly resent being aware of Lindsay Lohan or Charlie Sheen, especially since I need to be more aware of exactly what the heck Dennis Lee is talking about in "Country, Cadence, Silence" (for example).

Oops, you're right: "disinterest". Thanks; I've corrected my error.
