Six in one, half-dozen in another. George Carlin was only one man, and yet some believe his passing didn't get enough coverage? Tough decisions, I s'pose.
I'll leave you to your rant, then.

In any case, it really isnt about his skills as a football (stop using that stupid "soccer" word, damn you!) player. He and his Spice Girl wife are just... Well, celebrities. Nobody is quite sure why are they so big (cause she is nothing special, and he is not even close to being the best player for years), but they are, so we just have to deal with them...
Oh, and why arent moms and kids real sport fans? If they like real football, they are better sport fans than you...

For the love of all that is holy!! WHY is this crap splattered all over the news and TV?? Specials on this kid and his "tragic' death!! SO FREAKIN WHAT??? Kids die EVERYDAY! Lots of them. All just as meaningful to their families as this kid was to Vinnie Barbarino!!!... WHY is it that this particular child is SO friggin relevant to the earth that we need hours and HOURS of coverage on him?? Was he closing in on a cure for cancer?? Was he involved in peace negotiations in the Middle East? Did he discover a formula that will fix the US financial crisis? NO!!!! He was the son of an actor. Nothing more. His death is no more meaningful than any other child's. They are all extremely tragic, as are most passings.
I had to endure TWO hours of news last night with this kid as the "top story", then the Princess watches some Hollywood insider show that dedicated another hour and a half to him! Every commercial break went something like this, "When we return, more on this tragic loss. We will talk with the Travolta's dog to get his take, then we have an exclusive with a guy that was peeing at a gas station five blocks from the scene.." AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!
I understand that John Travolta is a movie star. I actually like the guy. Great actor. But as far as I am concerned, his kid is no more important than anyone else's and all this sensationalism over it is sickening. |

Oh, I so agree... I actualy remember that this story was out on the same day as the Israeli offensive in Gaza... And even on our news it got more attention!!! One kid dies, and just because he happened to be the son of a moviestar, we have to hear all about it... Oh, and of course, CNN Europe went on about it for half an hour at least... I mean, one, ONE kid died. How big a story can you make out of it? And at the same time, there are much more serious events going on in the middle East... No, that doesnt get into breaking news, because that would actualy make sense, and people would actualy want to hear about it!
