I have gone all day today without seeing one thing on television about Anna Nicole Smith.

IS SHE STILL DEAD?

IS SHE STILL BURIED?

DOES SHE STILL HAVE NO RELEVANCE TO ME?

I can’t possibly go to sleep without knowing if she is still dead and buried. I’m afraid with her being buried in Bermuda that some Voodoo priest will travel from Haiti and raise her up as a zombie and force to come to me and bore me to death.

So . . . you’re just trolling for attention? Zero content in the thread title, less in the OP? Surely you have something better to do with your time, like alphabetizing your toenails?

RO scale 2/10. Was a 0 but bonus points given for the mental image of a zombified Anna. She’s all plastic so I bet she’d decompose pretty slow too.

I keep my toenails in numerical order, fuck you very much.

Anna Nicole Smith died on Feb 8th, here it is, barely only a month later, and the news media seem to have dropped the ball and stopped telling me about this important person.  
Or, in case you really are that dense, I’m being fucking sarcastic. This is a pitting of the fact that Ms. Smith was ‘news’ at all. Maybe she merited one of those ‘end of broadcast’, “Hey, remember that Blondie slut that married that old guy for his money, then got fat and lost weight with some sort of barely legal speed? She died.” That should have been the last we ever heard of that broad.

You do realize that by posting about this, you are effectively making us think about Anna Nicole again? Sarcasm or not, you’re perpetuating the same media buzz that you so vehemently hate.

So why are you resurrecting her again?

You weren’t watching closely enough. The only news broadcast that I watched today was about an hour of news broadcast early this morning, and saw a breathless bit of guesswork to the effect of “OMG what’s the new info about her autopsy?!!1 Could this mean she was murdered? Or is the coroner trying to hog the spotlight like that whacko judge?”

So in order to prove your superiority to the news networks, you start a thread about it as soon as the coverage dies down. Kudos on the awesome sarcasm, you iconoclast you.

Hey, there’s no GOD in this thread after all the GOD in the thread title. Or is this some sneaky resurrection thing with Anna Nicole Smith?

If not, please title your threads more appropriately. Or in this case, you could have left the title and post out altogether. Same difference in terms of my reading it.

Anna Nicole **will** rise from the grave . . . and will lurch and shamble across the land screaming, “AAAATTTTEENNNTTIIOOOON! AAAATTTTEENNNTTIIOOOON!”

I didn’t catch much of the actual “Anna Nicole Show” but I always got a kick out of the Mad TV satires of it. Maybe she’ll live again, in syndication.

I assume it’s “recreational outrage”. It’s completely out of place here, but [the recent thread about it](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=411800) touched on the issue of [post=8344304]descriptive titles[/post], which may be what has confused poor **Autolycus**.

on preview: so I’m a little more verbose and slow than silenus.
