Sympathy

I called my mom to tell her some big news, and after she politely listened, she launched into the big news on her mind - Anna Nicole Smith.
She talked briefly about semen samples and helicopters at funerals, then trailed off sympathetically, “I can understand how someone might get mixed up and take too many of their drugs…”
Um, right Mom.
(Incidentally, I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a non-nude picture of Anna Nicole on the internet.)

The whole ANS debacle is one of those things that I think will make the rest of America wake up and see the lunacy of mass media, our society, etc.
Usually I’m deeply disappointed because the majority doesn’t voice the same disgust I feel. However, this time, everyone I talk to seems to be irritated, annoyed, pissed off, horrified, etc. with all the Anna Nicole coverage on the “NEWS.”
But you know the cable stations are only airing the shit because they’re getting good ratings. Who the fuck is watching this shit?

Not intending to compare the two directly, but how much coverage did Marilyn Monroe get when she kicked the bucket?
Even if this is a wake up call for the sheep, which I’d argue is not the case, don’t be a surpised by the collective pressing of the snooze button. Sleep always wins.
