Found this in the news this morning:
"The Associated Press has prepared an obituary for 26-year-old Britney Spears"
How incredibly sad. I don't know much about Britney Spears. Couldn't name a single song she sings. Obviously the media has made a sport of watching her life self-destruct. And people are watching it, and buying the grocery store tabloids like they just can't wait for the next chapter to unfold in this sad saga.
Now they seemingly can't wait for her demise.
I'm just wondering: Since when is all of this okay? Is our society so heartless and sin-sick that our morbid sense of delight can only be satisfied by this kind of pitiable spectacle? I can't even imagine someone having the audacity to prepare an obituary for a 26 year old who's life is in such distress. Who do these people at the Associated Press think they are?
Folks, this is not okay. This is really sick stuff. How would you like it if the AP put your struggles out there for everyone to oogle over, then decided to write an obituary for you on the assumption that you're not going to be here much longer?
