media circus
« on: June 26, 2009, 06:51:13 AM »
why does the media turn these things into a circus? the man has passed away. let him rest in peace. let his family have time to mourn. they actually showed pictures of the paramedics working on him. are you kidding me? it should be legal to shoot the paparazzi!! yes he was a celebrity, but he was a human. with a family. show some respect people. i reckon this will turn into another elvis.

I like how Farrah was immediately bumped down on the coverage race.  MJ front page, Farrah Last page in newspaper.   MJ was a great entertainer, but Farrah lived a more quiet life.  May both rest in peace.

Sadly, tabloid news sells and Wacko Jacko was clearly tabloid material. I know, harsh comment, but he went from an incredibly talented performer to a freak show in the last 10+ years.

Ive thought a lot about this same issue PBurke, and I cant tell if its a sign of the degradation of society over time, or if its the indifference of people that allows this kind of bile to surface.
