I know there’s an old tradition of not speaking ill of the dead. Sorry, but I think that rule should only apply to people we know.
Celebrities shouldn’t be covered by this courtesy policy.
Since the Trash Queen’s death at 39 last week, I’ve been shocked at the huffy and self-righteous reactions I’ve gotten to my A.N.S. cracks. It’s as if Princess Diana has just died.
Let me clear this up. Anna Nicole Smith was a grotesque celebrity whose life was a parody of everything dignified, classy and intelligent. For god’s sake, the father of her baby might be Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband.
I get to make fun of her and I don’t want any grief about it, okay?

Go ahead and share some jokes. Please.
Good lord! Diana was a bad enough representative of the phenomenon. In truth, I really think, as sick as it is, ANS’s death was an excuse for the media to continue to ignore the trainwreck of American politics.
I can see what you are getting at Kosmo, it makes sense. The only thing I see out of the whole situation is that her child gets to have a nice life. He will grow up with a fortune and (almost certainly) to a better mother.
As for making jokes of the dead, most comedians use the “Two Week Rule”. Basically, you can’t make a joke about her for two weeks, then you can say whatever you want.
