I swore I wouldn't get into the Beckham-Loos-Marbeck bandwagon... but here I am, writting about it in my blog.

And why?

Because this nationwide - no, worldwide - fascination with the whole fiasco is getting on my damn nerves. Okay, so the dude couldn't control his urges and strayed. So what?

Really, I can't be bothered with who Beckham or any other athlete for that matter, sleeps with on side. I mean, shouldn't something like performance on the field, instead of the bedroom, be the point of attention here?

Or are we so bored as people that we need to live vicariously through other people's lives? Looks like that's so, judging from the amount of attention every little scandal and affair gets blown into the papers anda magazines. ( If you remember Clinton and not to forget, Arnie the Governor! )

And I guess Loos and Marbeck knew about the "value" of exposing their dirty little secrets. So what if they slept with Becks sometime back? The point of telling that would be ... ?

Couldn't answer that question? I couldn't either. Fame or notoriety or just plain cheap publicity, it's up to you to judge. What was the point really?

The truth is, it's an issue where everyone loses out, and I hope they realise it. So who loses? Everyone!

Becks - for being a lying, cheating philanderer to his wife and family;

Loos and Marbeck - for being labelled loose women for the rest of their lives, in their quest to get their measly shot at fame; not forgetting their family as well. "Siapa yang malu? Mereka dah keluarga mereka!" (Remember that line?)

And the saddest loser of all?

Posh - for finding out that the marriage made in heaven is actually making its swift descent to hell.

AND THE BIGGEST WINNER? Tabloid companies who are busy making loads of cash feeding of our perverse fascination with people who, in the end, don't even matter in the big scheme of things in life. As simple as that!
