The coverage following Whitney Houston's death has been absolutely ridiculous.
She's dead. Her fans mourn her. End of story.
But no. We learn her cousin Dionne Warwick has postponed a concert. We learn that it will take weeks for the autopsy to find out how she died. (And yet CSI can do it in half an hour!) And today we've learned that the hearse carrying her body has arrived at the funeral home!
This type of minutia is just ridiculous. It's the equivalent of TV news cameras watching OJ's fleeing white van - or whatever car he was driving - for four hours while not a damn thing happened.
People should not care about this stuff. People do not need to know this stuff.
The artices haven't been sugar-coating her death. They point to her drug use and her erratic behavior...
Will her early death cause teenagers to thihk: "Jeez, she was beautiful and rich, and now she's dead at only 48. Maybe I better not take drugs or the same thing will happen to me." ?
Probably not.
