Let's Stop Fueling the Fame-Fire

This post is extremely hypocritical, but I just had to say something.  The media does bad people favors.  By bad people, I mean people who do inappropriate things solely to become famous.  The media latches on to these stories, and beats you over the head with them until these people actually become famous.  I think it's time to realize that we'd have less of these people if the media didn't make it clear they are willing to help just about anyone advance their sick "get famous" goals.  Balloon boy wasn't the first, and we find out weekly that he isn't the last either.  To be honest what really spurred this post was the "White House Party Crashers" (I refuse to link to story because I don't want to feed into the problem).  Being home for Thanksgiving has given me time to watch a lot of TV.  I've seen everyone from CBS to Fox News run story after story about, who are these people, what do we know about the party crashers, who did they talk to, how did they get by security, what do their friends have to say, what does Katie Couric have to say, what new details are coming out about the crashers, let's talk about what we know about the crashers, were these crashers really invited, what does the crashers' lawyer have to say, were the crashers vying for a reality show, what else can we find out about the crashers.  PLEASE STOP!  I'll tell you all you need to know about the crashers.  They are sick-in-the-head fame whores, and let's stop talking about them.  Thank God Tiger is cheating on his wife, so this story may go away soon.
