Anna Nicole Smith Dies

[Judge B]

I guess she wasn't living too healthy life. So it's no wonder she died young.

And I'm with Poolzer. 5 dead marines are far more important news than some dead fucked up bimbo (all due respect).

It's very sad when people die. I gotta say that those soldiers died in Iraq is terrible, and they aren't close to be the first, which makes it even more sad.
As much as it's wrong to compare people's deaths, I gotta say that Anna Nicole choosed to live her life like she did, took drugs and god knows what else she did, whereas the soldiers who died would probably much rather have been someplace else than fighting a war in Iraq.
Sad losses indeed.

I can't believe the shock. A fucking sex worker surrounded by drugs and money. Yeah, massive shock this.

[Luís]

Didn't mean to offend. It is sad, but it's not because she died that changed my opinion for her. And her actions speak louder than my words.

2 Hospital Corpsman and 5 Marines died in Iraq yesterday, doing the job I did when I was out there in 2004, in-flight casualty evacuation (transporting wounded american military via helicopter). Their helicopter went down due to either being shot down or mechanical failure.

Nice to know what makes news these days on tv....

I'm sorry to hear about this Paul. My brother is in the army so military things are closer to me than other people. Even though we are supposed to have freedom of press, there aren't very many networks out there that are bringing things like these up. Maybe it's because it hits closer to home than a celebrity dieing. In fact, some might consider it a welcome distraction from other real issues, like the war in Iraq.

Metallica's Frantic certinly applies to this woman, I only feel bad for her little daughter who'll grow up with the eyes of people who know what kind of person her mother was and how it affected her brother's death.
R.I.P anyway.

There's a lot of misogyny in this thread.

That's someone's daughter you people are talking about. Regardless of whether or not they'll ever read this, have a little class and show some respect for a human being that died because she was trying to conform to what "the system" wanted her to be.

i'm sorry, i was under the impression we were entitled to speak our opinions. my opinion is.... why the fuck do us aussies need to hear all about her life/death when most of us couldnt give a rats toss-bag about her anyway (no offence to my ratties).

and yes, she was someones daughter, but as she stated many many times in many many interviews, she wanted nothing to do with her mother, refused to speak to her, therefore, the ones we should be feeling sorry for are her mother and her daughter. she chose the lifestyle she lived, she allowed herself to be manipulated by the men around her (howard k stern being one of a long long list) and she chose to take drugs. obviously the word "no" meant nothing to her.

you can call me a misogynist all you want, but i am speaking from the position of being a mother, unlike you, and i have lost a child (however, it wasnt to drugs/booze); and surprisingly enough, i also have a mother... oh yeah, i have been manipulated by the men in my life but i didnt turn to drugs to deal with the pressure and i have never wanted to be something i'm not!!!!!

It's just incredible how much coverage this is getting. I mean seriously.

This is highlighting a lot of what's wrong with the world, to me this is just like if Paris Hilton had died, two people who offered practically nothing to the world getting extensive TV coverage, front page spreads in newspapers, and endless discussion or every other medium.


I mean really, it's like the entire world has turned into fans of Women's Weekly or some other equally trashy gossip magazine.


Where are our priorities? What's important in our lives?


I'm sorry for her family and for her daughter, but this should not be the big deal it's being made out to be for so many people.

Anna Nicole Smith is no, for example, Christopher Reeve - now that one was a shock.

front page spreads in newspapers

I truely hope not!!

fairly well glossed off over here in NZ thank god. to rephrase my earler commnet. Yeah of course it's a loss to friends and family but as far as news and my caring level goes it's no great loss
