It's 4:06 PM...
...and Anna Nicole Smith is still dead.
The scrolling bar at the bottom of my TV reminds me continually. On thr radio, the cause-of-death updates are every 5 minutes. Every year people die. Accomplished people. Philanthropists, Nobel prize winners, kings of industry, poets, engineers and enlightened visionaries pass from our world without mention, yet Anna Nicole has our nation spellbound. News at 11.

The coverage reminds me of when Buckwheat was shot on SNL.
"Buckwheat dead. A nation mourns. Brought to you by Texon, because you could die tomorrow."

Moses, your statment is quite profound. and you are right, not being sarcastic here. the media jumps on these stories and makes them bigger than life. similar to the Astronaut with the diapers.

Would make an excellent documentary:
"The dumbing down of society".

She was a celebrity so that's why you're gonna hear about it.
WE (the collective witless "we" who watch the myriad of entertainment types - movies, TV, magazines, sports, books, etc) all contribute to the celebrity so when ANYTHING happens to them WE are going to hear abou it endlessly....until the next thing xcomes along. They do it because rating and sales etc SAY we want it. You (the individual person) doesn't like it but the collective WE apparently loves it.

I flipped on Weather Channel checked my local on the 8's then checked the Cable news everyone is on crisis special reports. I laughed, pointed at the TV and said "Mombo like funny story" and proceded to watch for 5 hours. Not really I flipped it off and played GT4 for an hour and now I am on here and now I am off to bed.  I feel bad for her in a way, she lived a sad life and probably overdosed. Hulk Hogan was on BTLS this afternoon and was with Anna last week and Hogan said she was a mess last week at the Hard Rock all drugged up and staggering around. Sad ending to a really wacked life.

That little 5 Month old allready has a battery of Attorneys fighting for that $473M that old man left to Nicole. Didja really think that was gona go away.
I think the movie "Network" should be rewatched by everyone here. Basically news has become entertainment to keep Americans preoccupied with nothing of consequence while the major issues that effect everyones lives goes unnoticed. End of rant.

A good laywer is someone who does not stop litigating until his client runs out of money. I predict this will be the case with whatever money is/should be due to the little 5-month old.
