Alas, we knew her all to well

Am I the only one who doesn't care that Anna Nichole Smith died? Yes, I know that sounds heartless, cruel, insensitive, blah, blah, blah, but I'm sorry, really, why do we care? She was a blond bombshell who was an ex-stripper, married a 90+ year old, got rich when he died, gained 100+ pounds then lost it about a year ago and now she's dead from a drug overdose. She contributed nothing to society other than boosting Entertainment Tonight's ratings over the past year.

When I heard that Anna Nichole Smith died I had no reaction. I wasn't happy, but I wasn't sad either. I was essentially forced to find out all the nitty gritty details from CNN's 23 hour a day coverage of the 'event' (Lou Dobbs' show was the only one that didn't have coverage). Thanks to them I now know the contents of her fridge when she died. I am certain I am dumber now for having watched even the small amount of coverage I did watch.

Please give me your thoughts. I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.

You know what....

It is one thing to talk about it for a couple of days, however not three weeks.

People need to get over this. Smith is getting more attention by dying then Gerry Ford did when he died.

THAT IS CRAZY!

It's sad when people die, yes. Do we need to hear about it for weeks? No. It made the front page of the free press: annoying! I sometimes wonder about the LFP, what were they thinking? Pretty much anything gets up there! Remember DeCicco's engagement: Will you Mayor-ry Me? (or something stupid like that.)

I was in DC when Ford died and we went to the visitation at the White House. I think I've come across more footage on Anna Nicole than actually going to the visitation and the funeral (procession and all).
