Do we love dead celebs that much or is the media bored?

Whitney Houston died last weekend.  That’s sad, but does anyone remember that she was drugged up and cracked out for the last two decades?  Drug addicts tend not to live very long.  (See Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse. oh and about 700 other musicians)  Sunday, the news was acting like absolutely nothing else was going on.  Greece is in flames, Syria is having civil war, and our government and the Catholic church are knifefighting over the 1st amendment.  Eh, we’ll get to that later.  A lady that sang songs OD’d – everything else is irrelevant!

Then again, I got on facebook and saw people were really upset.  So all the benevolent news channels obliged with constant coverage, even though 90% of the facts were out within the hour.  Hell, I even saw a touching story about Bobby Brown’s emotional performance in Mississippi.  It nearly made me forget he slapped her around!  Ah, love.  It truly is eternal.  I’ll think I’ll stick with the Law and Order marathon.
