Enough already!! I really don't find it necessary that we need to chase an ambulance carrying the body of a man who has just died so that we could get our grubby, greedy hands on the money that will be paid for that picture of his corpse!! Its amazing to see what lengths one will go to in order to get "the news" or "breaking news". Where the hell do we draw the line? For pete's sake, what if the man was still alive and those dumb asses wasted precious seconds by blocking the ambulance's path?
I'm all in favor of getting the news as fast as possible and I love it when something happens live on t.v.or when you get a breaking news story with a great video. But I'm tired of these stars and celebrities being chased by the blood hounds who've just spotted the fox!! Just put yourself in that persons family and imagine if you turn on the news and there it is, a shot of your brother, sister, cousin, daughter, husband or wife, mother or father, over and over again. While the family is trying to cope, the media is trying to enlighten the audience on just how many drugs he/she was on, how many times they were unfaithful to their spouse, just how dark of a life they led that we did not know about while they were in the spotlight. There's a time and a place for everything, and my opinion is that even the cause of death could wait a little while to be found out, after all, what good is that information once we get it? I'm not saying the media should not try their hardest to get the story, but exactly what did that scene at Michael Jacksons house do for us? Did it give us some unknown fact? Some case cracking piece of evidence? All it did for me was disgust me more. Is this what we want to see?
I would love to know what you think. Am i being to critical?

What you said is so true. Some people will do anything to get news even going as far as invading people's privacy and breaking laws in order to get it.
ReplyDeleteCelebrities have lost all sense of humanity due to the media in my opinion. they aren't even like real people. They want the press to write about them all day, take their pictures on the red carpet, even photograph them while they are walking their dog. But that comes with a price. if you want them around for the good, they have to be around for the bad.
ReplyDeleteReminds me a of a quotes from High Fidelity with John Cusack. At the end he talks about fantasies he has about women, but realize he always forgets the fact that beautiful women also have to hang their dirty bras up and occasionally look bloated. Celebs want the media around to advertise them, i guess it comes with the territory.
the fact that Michael Jackson's death has broken Google search records scares the hell out of me
This is getting absurd. I do feel sorry for his family to go through his death, but the fact that a picture of him was taken in an ambulance, must be even worse. I totally agree that if he was alive, those few seconds could have saved his life instead of captring a photo.
