Anna Nicole Smith was many things and who am I to comment who knew here not at all! What can be said is that her life and death both represent everything thats wrong with the culture of "celebrity" or being famous for being famous!!
Smith's splash at the MTV Australia Music Awards a few years back was funny in an uncomfortable 'I'll do anything if the money's right' sort of way...
At a time when films like "Pursuit of Happiness" bring one sort of reflection on "the great American dream" her life stands in sharp contrast... I just feel really sad that someone's life can be so wasted and exploited. Even in death the suitors will now wrangle over her billions [sorry I mean paternity of her child]...
Some photo shoots managed to capture what a warm and inately beautiful smile and personality Anna Nicole had... others had a different focus!!
Who are we that this stuff sells magazines, what's our response, what's our call as a community of people, to the stupidity of such values and priorities... this is not about the hundreds a day starving in Africa by comparison.... this is a symbol of how everything is screwed up in a drug soaked, short term, consumer driven nihilistic pursuit of the quick fix..... we're nowhere near really thinking about genuine solutions to world hunger and the nature of a world lived according to the values of its creator... when they needed a neighbour were we there were we there?
