Feb 20 07: a cry for brains
Dear National News Broadcasters:
She’s been dead for days, and she is still dead. I realize that in the past I have had my issues with that Anna Nicole woman, but I don’t think that should preclude me from pointing this out. And I realize that it would be unreasonable of me to ask that we simply drop the matter altogether, because obviously those who, like me, fail to understand why she was ever a celebrity should get no say in the workings of our culture. But the legal stupidities are going to go on for a while; surely there are more pressing matters that could be covered right now? Rather than live broadcast of the who-gets-the-body hearings?
I hereby request a moratorium on the play-by-play, until:
- some sort of decision is reached, or
- the residual psychoactive chemicals in her corpse undergo a freak reaction with her embalming fluids and cause her to rise up off her shelf at the funeral home and into the streets of Hollywood (FL) to feast upon the living.
Ideally the latter, but I’d settle for the former.
My thanks,
AW
ps: while we’re on the subject of zombies, I hereby recommend that everybody go listen to Jonathan Colton’s song Re: Your Brains.
