Anna Nicole Smith's death....

has proved that Americans are a bunch of mindless sheep, being led to slaughter.

Is it me, or maybe this is only dominating the airwaves here is SFL but it's on all the friggin time.

Late breaking this, late breaking that.....7 people are claiming to be the father of her kid.

Enough already!

She was hot, and now she's gone.

Move on America, there are other way more important things going on.

THANK YOU!!! I still have yet to comprehend how this country can make such a success out of someone so screwed up. I couldn't stand the hype behind her show. But this is even worse. Our soldiers are dying in Iraq, a nuclear arms race seems imenant, and all we can do is mourn a waste of space!

Amen!

Opiate for the masses to keep them from doing anything about anything. Just go to their 9 to 5, come home and drink their six pack, watch the game, complain about their 9 to 5 and repeat.

Mean while... the Haliburton get richer and Bush gets to send more lives to Iraq.

Just remember:

OPIATE FOR THE MASSES

It answers A LOT of mysteries!

I wouldn't go as far as saying she was hot. Good looking, but not HOT.

She was the epitome of trailer trash.

I don't think she was hot either.
She was a freekin porn star for crying out loud. Why would anyone even care if she's dead or not?

i just think it is kindof sad. she was nice looking and could have done positive things but had apparently no morals and just slid along to a sad demise.

sad.

It is sad when anyone loses their life. BUT I don't think anything positive could have come out of her life.

I am just glad, maybe her baby daughter will have a chance to live a normal life.

Thank you to the media - with 100+ "news channels" getting tired of making up stupid stories to fill air time, when something like this happens, the media line up like sheep and report, report, report. They're bored.

I have to believe that only 3% of America really cares and is staying tuned. Blame this one (and most of the others) on the wonderful American news channels - yuck, I hate them more than I hate politicians.

When you have 24-hour news channels, it's a daunting task to present programming consisting solely of hard news that is interesting to the viewer. As such, welcome to Tabloid TV News, where disgusting, cheesey and sensational stories are prized as sure-fire audience grabbers.

BTW, I am the father of Anna Nicole's baby.

It drives me nuts. I can see one ok maybe two stories since she was famous, but thats it. After that who cares? I don't.

I can't stand this stuff, it really makes me shake my head what the heck is the average American thinking caring about this crap?

Many Americans have a latent desire to move into a trailer park and drink really cheap beer all day. Ogling the escapades of trashy individuals and their cronies temporarily satisfies that urge.

Speaking from personal experience GD, eh?

We shouldn't be so quick to judge the great unwashed masses.

After all, how much time do we spend on the Internet, and here, mindlessly posting away.

Pick your poison, have your fun.
