A sad comment on the media

Anna Nicole Smith has died mysteriously and without much warning. Okay, she's a celebrity, so this is certainly news, and merits coverage.

But Headline News has gone into "drop everything, even ads, and cover this story continuously" mode on the news. (Edit: due to a lack of anything better to watch, I've had it on in the background for an hour now, and no ads. They ALMOST threw to an ad just now, but were told not to.)

Siiiiigh.
