The level of condescension by you about the discussion of this event would make the North Korean government blush. Exactly what level of deference do you demand. It is wrong to act as if you knew the man any more than the average victim of drug abuse, or for that matter, dead celebrity.

If the point that I and others were legitimately trying to make was not clear enough to you, heres an example of the posts on the Huff Post story of today..

Gee, I don't want to offend anyone but I'm getting real tired of hearing about these muti-millionaires turning to drugs and being in a state of depression. And thier incredible talanet?...I know plenty of teachres who are talented and actually engauage with young folks on a daily basis to educated them. Yet they get crapped on. Please tell me how these entertainers touch anyone outside of seeing thier face on a screen. And what do they really do besides a few "appearances" in public?... they go back to the party.
These jack ass actors and actress's and other entertainers who get caught up in drugs are no more intitled to sympathy than any one who dies in the streets. Yet we get the 24-7 dose of guys like this and loosers like Spears and Lohan just enjoying the American drugged-dream. I have said it before...main-stream hollywood really sucks.
Hey...if the Huffington Post would continually post the names of the dead soldiers or the soldiers who are living in the streets and maybe the other dead people who get murdered in this country...we do lead the world in that category you know...maybe I'd have a better opinion about another well-off actor who decided his lavish life style was just too much to handle. But they don't...so I could really care less about some "high school level prom king" with a drug addiction and now living dead in a hole. Why not imprison the drug dealer Dr's? There's a start.

If you dont wish to see a discourse on this PR fuelled story, then live in China.
