Typing this with my jaw on the floor

My addiction to celebrity gossip (I know, I'm very guilty about it) means that I often end up here or here or here when I'm farting about online. Anyway, after another day of 'organizing' (trying to comb through the papers we have been carting around with us for the past three years) I popped over to Defamer for a little R&R. And I saw this, thought to myself 'what are they talking about?', followed the video link here and watched the 'News Report' in question. It just seems very very wrong to me that people's reaction to the news of the death of a one-time colleague is the subject of a news report. Well I guess the death of Bruno Kirby was the the news story, but it was an awfully strange and uncomfortable angle on it.
