They look themselves in the shiny veneers that appear as they admire their spray tans and expensive salon coifs while standing in spacious bathrooms in ostentatious mansions all paid for by appealing to the lowest common denominator who eats up tales of cherubic little children done wrong by a crass, sexualized society, also brought to you by said executives. ---

But I thought they did find some bits and pieces of her.😛 ---

I missed the funeral (aww) but every so often I turn to Nancy Grace aka The Daylee Caylee Hour, just to throw up in my mouth a little. What a pile of useless shit. I don’t want to sound callous, but what a fucking pathetic waste of valuable air time. Every. Fucking. Day. The idiots who call in with their retarded speculation, desperate to feel like they’re part of some third-tier mystery novel, starved for something to care about since Di’s death or the JonBenet Ramsey case. ‘Oh I’ve been with this since the very start,’ they tell Grace, like they’re trying to prove they care the most. I remember a few months back, the people ‘protesting’ (or holding a particularly angry vigil) outside Casey’s house– these absolute strangers, crying and screaming for her to confess. And Nancy Grace herself. She actually dared accuse Casey Anthony of trying to ‘take the spotlight off her daughter’ by releasing a letter to her father, who read it at a press conference. There wouldn’t even BE a spotlight if it weren’t for shit shows like Nancy Grace. There SHOULDN’T BE a spotlight once the child’s been found, unless there’s a message that other parents need to receive or that te public can benefit from. I remember after Caylee died there was an obnoxious graphic in the corner of the screen: CAYLEE DEAD! CAYLEE DEAD! Real class act. (Can you tell I’ve been wanting to vent about this for a while?) ---

> [@Cat\_Fight](#): > > The idiots who call in with their retarded speculation, desperate to feel like they’re part of some third-tier mystery novel Oh, I love those callers. It makes me wonder if the show just doesn’t screen at all or if there’s just very few callers. CALLER: Hi Nancy, I love your show. Your twins look so precious in those little conjoined twin bunny rabbit suits! NANCY: Thank you, my mom made those, which was hard because she’s 94 and blind and has Alzheimers and can’t sew. They’ve got matching shoes for those too. What’s your question? CALLER: I was wondering, do you think that if Casey Anthony was not the real killer and that this Zuni Oneida Gonzales person was, would that mean that Caylee was really Mexican and if so would that make this a hate crime? NANCY: Thank you for your question. Let me ask our guest, media whore-defrocked priest-bounty hunter-flight attendant Father Steve ‘Go-Go’ Gartrell, what about the caller’s question, which was if Caylee was Mexican then would her body even be in Florida? And why Orlando, because Universal Studios is there do you think or because that’s where the Anthonys lived? ---

Now it’s going to be The Daleigh Hayleigh hour. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-come-to-exploit-caylee-not-to-praise-her/485255.md?page=1)
