Well, it is only a tragedy if it effects the beautiful people.

You guys don't understand modern journalism. It's not about news - it's about selling ad space. And to sell ad space you have to be read. And to get read you have to generate a buzz.

What better way to generate a buzz than to put "supermodel" in your headline and then link to FR. I don't know how many posts this thread will get, but I bet it gets over 10,000 hits today.

How many hits will all the stories about 40,000 dead get together on FR?

The author is a genius.

Shalom.
