I have seen far more people get upset about what the Depp verdict means for the future of humanity than people who actually gave a shit about the trial. The give-a-shit factor on Johnny Depp is really low. What coverage we saw was undoubtedly PR-driven; it still wasn't enough to get most people to give a shit. Considering nobody followed it, it's pretty disingenuous to give a shit now just because it's been spun through your personal give-a-shit filter. You know what I keep seeing? NOW we give a shit. Exercise for the student: Which is going to be harder to influence, a defamation trial between two celebrities, or a defamation trial between a murderous cause-celeb and the press that covered his murders?
