There's nothing else going on in the world apparently. It's what the networks do when they can use up air time with nonsense like this and make lots of money. I just turn it off.

Yup, we're getting it too - maybe not quite as much, but definitely more than enough.

But the worst part of it all is the Virulent Racism Exposed from FOX News Supporters.

It tells you a lot about the motives of many. (No, not all.)

I'd post a few of the comments, but they're too vile.

I watched the two hour 20/20 special on her life last night. It was interesting, but also sad. We have seen similar scenario's played out before with people who seemed to be victimized by their own success. It's a shame to see how such a beatiful and talented individual ended up. In one interview I was struck when she told the interviewer that she wasn't an addict, and that she just had a "bad habit", making the excuses that you hear so often of people who have substance abuse issues. I think perhaps all the money we spend on futile drug enforcement might be better spent on rigorous educational campaigns in our schools about the dangers.

Here In Vancouver BC you would think the queen just croaked. Between her and the other dope head Michael Jackson assuming room temperature by drugs, it's sickening. Her tribute albums and photo t-shirts will be in all the stores by next week.

If I hear that trademark song of hers one more time my heads going to explode. About as grating as "It's a small world after all".Yech.

There has been a few reports about her in our part of the world, but really nothing compared to with what is shown on U.S. newspaper or TV. I guess we've not yet cough the celebrity worship syndrome desease yet.

Amost enough to convince me to move to Quebec.

I'd have to polish up my High School French a bit...

Definitely a higher class of people in Quebec. That has been my experience.
