Overkill

Am I the only one who's insanely sick of seeing "Anna Nicole's Tragedy" or "The Devastating Death of Anna Nicole's Son", etc. all over the TV lately? Sure, it is sad that her son died tragically--no one deserves it and no mother should have to endure that. BUT, here's the thing: he died of a drug overdose (not that that justifies his death); Anna Nicole is clearly a drug addict herself; not sure what's going on with her smug, creepy lawyer/husband. I'd be more likely to deem his death a tragedy if he'd died in a car accident, of cancer--something to that effect.

I caught a bit of footage taken during Anna Nicole's recent c-section on Entertainment Tonight yesterday. In the tape, Anna is on the operating table screaming and crying and saying, "I wanna see ma presh-us baabee". She was clearly high as a kite. Also, she was offering commentary to Entertainment Tonight, telling them what she was thinking/feeling during the c-section. She kept saying that she was in a lot of pain and felt a lot of the procedure. I couldn't help but wonder if it was because her body is so immune to drugs, that she really wasn't anesthetized enough during the procedure--which is disgusting in and of itself. Maybe she should've done a few more hits of Trimspa before the surgery.

This post has no point at all except that I'm sick of this story and am more than ready for it (as well as the people involved) to go away. Anna Nicole gets way too much publicity as it is and she milks every publicity opportunity for all that it's worth. I don't understand what the appeal is, other than the fact that she and her story are really a fiery, twisted-metal, multiple ambulance-style car accident that America can't not look at.
