March 16, 2007 Anna Nicole Smith

Anna Nicole Smith's death is one of the biggest tragedies this nation has experienced in the past decade. Period. Everything she did for this country and the positive role model she became for boys and girls, all of those modern film classics to which she contributed. I want to publicly mourn this event and declare how sorely she will be missed . . .

I hope you caught onto the sarcasm by this point, if not, please NEVER read this blog again. Now I mean no disrespect to the death of another person, but holy shit people, with all of the news coverage, did anybody else realize that there was a war going on overseas? Or that Middle East peace talks have resumed? Or maybe that there was an assassination attempt on our VICE PRESIDENT?!

I hope I wasn't the only one that was shocked by how much coverage it received. They actually held specials on network television up until last week. She died on Feb. 8th. That's about one month of non-stop coverage for a woman that basically contributed nothing but gossip concerning her marriage to an oil tycoon 63 years older than herself, and some nude shots of herself. Either way, I thought it was atrocious how much time networks dedicated to this event. I am going to jump into "older-timer" land when I say this, but what has this country come to?

This has been a bit of a rant, so I will end it with this: the moral of the story seems to be, ladies pay attention, marry rich, or even Rich, take off your clothes and pose for some pictures, and then you too can become famous and land your own "hit" TV show.
