Too much information

Do we really need to know that the pope has a urinary tract infection? Why do news agencies think that this is the kind of news that people are looking for?

Here's some information that you might actually want to know:

There is a really good outdoor gear sale at The Mayfield Trade Centre (16615 109th Ave) from March 31st - April 3rd. I went tonight and bought a cool headlamp for $9.99, some nice Wigwam socks for $4.99, and a pair of Ryder's sunglasses for $14.99. I was very tempted to buy a tent but thought that was too big of a purchase to buy impulsively without doing any research. I may go back this weekend to pick one up though.
