This is not a RIP Whitney Houston thread, it's a "why the (bleep) did you interrupt the viewing of a kids' show to say Whitney Houston is dead"? First, we sat there thinking the President had been shot or something, I mean it was downright weird given how long it took them to get to the point, because we figured it had to be pretty important. Second, it's a kid show - I know you really want to be first to break the news, but really? Morons.
commission a stamp? more likely name a navy ship after the druggie.
I will avoid “Fox and Friends” for a few days because that’s all we’re going to hear and I’m sick of it already!!!!!!!!

Wow! That’s really horrible that they did that to you.
I hear there's a city in Texas that will be named after her.
A museum of American art in New York is scheduled to be named after Whitney!
” It’s all about THEM!”
After closing time at the Guernsey Fair
I detect the El Supremo, from the room at the top of the stairs
Show business kids making movies of themselves
You know they don’t give a **** about anybody else
All in all, I thought the lyrics fit the frame of conversation on how sleazy and unprofessional journalism (print or electronic) has become.
Look at the positive side, It kept Romney’s two severe wins off the boobtoob.
Yep...Henley pegged the media pretty well with that tune.
This is another who the heck is Whitney Houston? Never heard of of him / her / it.
News is now entertainment and entertainment is news.
It’s unfortunate Huston lost her life but come on, how many more of these deaths, celebrity or not, will happen BEFORE a family member or true friends intervene?
Good grief!
Did you hear Whitney Houston is dead?
Will they do this when someone like Brian Wilson dies ? I think not .
Sorry for her death, but as far as I’m concerned it’s just another dead junkie who got what they sought ... escape from reality.
Wonder if there's any truth to the rumour that Obama is planning to fly the flag at the White House at half staff for 30 days.
It mirrors "Dumbing Down of Society".
It points out "Bread and Circuses".
It is what the Country has become.
This is Obama's America. These things are more important that the North Korean's developing a Taepodong Missile II which could obliterate a large portion of Los Angeles, including Hollywood and all those hotels where these Ameican "idols" and "heroes" and "role models" take their lives through drugs, willingly or unwillingly.
Up is down. Down is up. Heroes are non heroes. Non heroes are heroes. It just screws up the national characteristic. A nation becoming one of mental jelly.
It screwed up the visibility and traction of Willard Romney's win (now disputed) in the Maine Caucuses, and his bying the CPAC Straw Poll vote, two items he hoped to run as top headlines to dislodge the Santorum juggernaught. So that really pissed on his campfire media cycle-wise. No prob here.
LOL !
