I totally agree. It’s been 10 years and enough is enough.

Bitching at a murder victim because of the media. Classy.

If that’s what you think the OP is doing, then you need to get your reading comprehension skills checked.

The Lindbergh baby was a boy.

True, but Anne Morrow Lindbergh is a dead white woman. The judges are going to allow threemae’s response.

Ya see, the Great American Hero Charles Lindberg could never be seen to do something so inferior as to sire a girl child, so they had to do something to make it go away. So, they hired (crap, I can’t remember his name and I’m having too much fun to look it up) to do away with the child. They were careful to make sure no autopsy was performed.
You just have to follow the money. The money trail leads back to Lindberg. And from there, back to the Nazis. That’s why Lindberg made all those trips to Germany.
I can make this stuff up all day long. I think I need my own radio show.

Ten years on, people are frankly still curious about what the hell happened, and this whole back and forth with Mr. Karr proved compelling because of that.

OK, admit it, how many times in the last month have you ridden your bike by the Ramsey house? 
Arrgh, thank you. Especially for this:
My dearly beloved grandfather died in January, and I don’t think I’ve looked at a picture of him since the funeral. But run into Publix for a loaf of bread and a sack of potatoes and there’s that damned JonBenet again, with a side of Dead Girl In Aruba for spice. It’s creepy! It was creepy then, it’s creepy now, and I’m tired of it! It isn’t even legitimately creepy anymore, it’s more like leftover creepy - just conditioned creepy.

It was either Bruno Hauptmann or Bruno Kirby, or maybe they were the same person. Either way, I’m sure he was hired by J. Edgar Hoover. That’s why the FBI didn’t want to investigate. They left it up to the New Jersey State Police.

As we all know, J. Edgar Hoover had a vested interest in keeping gender issues out of the news.
Inasmuch as I could ever approve of the Pitting of a six-year-old murder victim, I agree with the OP. It’s not the girl’s fault, obviously. I blame the media for wasting so much time on the case, and on her parents for murdering her. (I’m kidding.) I also agree that JonBenet is a stupid name. So is “Boulderado.” Beauty pageants for six-year-olds are even worse. The whole idea is soul-shakingly gross.

Vested, stockinged and gartered, from what I hear. :D:D:D
This is the state of the American media, that a murdered girl is ruthlessly pimped out for ratings.
The sad thing is, it works.
I gotta say… the phrase “whored-up prepubescent head” is evokative of so many unseemly possibilities this rant deserves an A+ for that alone.
Bravo!
Well done and my sentiments exactly.
Oscar (Cecil?) material. I give it a thumb, way, way up!
Four stars.
You get the idea.

What I don’t get is why the little girls have to dress up like Vegas hookers. Why not have them in little Shirley Temple outfits and sing “The Good Ship Lollipop” or “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” instead of some sultry torch song?

Given their age and the location of Karr’s arrest, perhaps “Thai hookers” is more like it. But to answer your question - beats me. Whether women are EVER meant to be so overly made-up is an open question, but I know that six-year-olds aren’t. Forget barely legal, these kids are barely born, and it makes me nauseous to see them displayed in such an obviously sexual way. How is that attractive - or forget attractive, let’s say “not disgusting” - in any way to any person pretending to be of sound mind and normal sexual preference? And beyond that, how does any parent get their child into it?

I understand Patsy Ramsey left a request in her will, to have the body exhumed.
She wanted to change her outfit.
