I finished watching True Story, went to check my Yahoo mail, and saw the news. It seems kind of suspicious… her son dying last fall, the whole paternity test for her baby recently… very very strange. And sad. I didn’t think highly of her, but I’m sad that she died and I’m praying for her family.
I just hope they don’t make it the focus of the news for too long…
Remember back in 1997, when Princess Diana died? Mother Teresa died the same week. It was barely mentioned. It was all about Princess Di. I mean I was sad about it, obviously, and she did do some good in the world (I vaguely remember something with mines?) but Mother Teresa devoted her life to helping others, and her death was a passing note. I mean, I don’t want to compare people and say one is better than the other… but it seems the media focuses on so many people (Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole, Britney Spears) and it’s like “why are they famous?” Other than being born into family fortune or marrying into it or being scandalous…
Ok, I didn’t mean for this to turn into a rant and detract from Anna Nicole and her death. It’s just interesting looking at the media and society and see what they focus on.
