If you ask me, it's the media tha seems a little batty about the whole thing. I mean, let's be serious....what did Anna Nicole do that was so amazing? What made her worthy of such news coverage? I understand this whole thing has turned into a big media circus, but it says alot about our culture that we keep tuning in to see the latest on this fiasco.

''That baby is in in a cold, cold storage room, it's not decaying so fast,'' he said. ``I'm not rushing -- we're gonna spend a lot of time together.''

wtf...... necrophiliac ..... sick fuck :-X

I couldn't agree with you more.... I kept flipping channels last week hoping for a cable news network that was NOT covering this, but no luck. It's pathetic really, and disrespectful to her loved ones.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. One of the hallmarks of a free press is the freedom to determine what they want to cover.
It was perfectly within their rights to blow this story out of proportion.

Being that the news organizations in this country are commercial entities, they've gotta cover what is going to boost ratings, and thereby draw more advertisers. The only other alternative really is a state-controlled news agency, which is a worse option. A free press not funded or controlled by the government is essential to a free society. We simply cannot have a "state news agency". Leave that to communist and so******t countries like Cuba, Venezuela, some of Europe, etc.

Is it disrespectful, the coverage of her death? Yeah, I'd say so. Sure she was a trainwreck waiting to happen, but the way the coverage was handled, wasn't exactly what I'd call respectful. I would have reported it, but not sensationalized it.

But if we gotta live with scandals and an "if it bleeds it leads" mentality to maintain a free press, then I'm all for it. If we gotta take some trashy stories to enable the next Bernstein and Woodward to be able to do their jobs, then by god, let's line the celebrities up and expose all their dirty secrets.

To paraphrase Voltaire, I may not like what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

That's my whole point Pod. I don't rest the blame with the media so much as I do the culture that breeds this sort of nonsense. Me saying the media is batty over it is not saying they're to blame. You know why this is news? She was blonde, big-breasted, and a party-girl. Sounds like someone else that receives media attention for no good reason except minus the big breasts. Why is America so fascinated by mediocrity?

[pod]

Exactly. People love to blame the big bad media, but the media is just a reflection of the society that it reports on.

It's not exclusively American, either. For some weird reason, the German media gave this a lot of airtime too. Those kooky Germans.
