celebrity deaths

Over the past few months, two deaths have been covered by the media fairly well.  The death of Joe Pa and Whitney was a main source for many reports, but I think that much of it was unnecessary.  The media was right to report the events and burial and likewise things, but the coverage is over the top.  In fact, Not just the news, but other sources focussed heavily on the deaths.  If people played a game where they would take a shot every time the name Whitney was said at the grammys, they would be straight up drunk.  In fact, the focus was so heavy on celebrity deaths that I believe that people focus more on what's happening now with the Celebrity rather than recognizing the passing of a human being, who happend to touch the lives of many.
