I don't mind being someone's boredom cure sometimes but yeah,
  controversy is just... eh most of the time. == Some people like
  gossip too. Did you see what that celebrity was wearing at that
  awards show? Oh, how controversial! And the neighbors - why,
  they just got a dog! Can you believe it? A dog! And their son
  declared he's an atheist! Oh myyyy.... yeah. boring. == It's the
  kind of thing you like if you like that kind of thing. Sometimes
  I like it too.
