Why is it that Anna Nicole Smith's death story has been in the news for weeks upon weeks while James Brown was only covered for a couple days? What exactly did Smith do to deserve this media coverage? My good friend's brother, Michael C. Reilly, was killed while fighting a fire, if anyone deserves weeks of media coverage then it is him and the rest of the firefighters and other uniformed men and women who put their lives on the line everyday to help and protect other people. We pay more attention to someone who married rich and american "idols" than real American heroes. Doesn't this say something about our culture and does it bother anyone else as much as it irritates me?

yeah, it pisses me off too. Stupid people that didn't do anything worthwhile their entire lives but be druggies and whores get all the media coverage while real heroes get nothing.

Our society loves drama and scandal. James brown had scandal but then Anna died and bam....it took off. I think if her son hadn't died and hadn't had a baby where she didn't know the father..then James brown would have been in the news again.
It bothers me...noneof this should be in the news. Death is private...how would you feel if your family member died and the paparazzi was outside day and night and spreading lies...wouldn't be nice huh? There are more serioud things in the world worth writing about....really!!
Like the WAR!! Or death in AFrica..the homeless, medicare and the elderly....how bout those people...

I agree. Anna Nicole is and was pathetic, ignorant and not worth the spit under most people's shoes. But people, stupid people are sickly fascinated with her. I am sorry about your good friend's brother who did deserve much more praise and time spent mourning as well as James Brown who was a contributor as well to our lives. Anna Nicole was a leach and the people who sickly follow her life are lacking in intelligence.

Because she was always a subject of media attention and intense coverage. The mystery behind her death was subject to scrutiny. JB died of old age. And I agree, our society tends to misjudge authentic importance with mere interest by choice in attention. Yes, it bothers me.

Our society (or at least the males in it) love big boobs, blond hair, and reckless behavior!
Anna Nicole hit the jackpot in all three areas. Hence, the news coverage.

Yes, it bothers me too. I hate how the media only covers what people in their pathetic little LA social circles want to cover, and avoid the important facts or people. It is so messed up. :(

EVERYTHING AROUND HER WAS SO IT WAS EXPECTED
