A few thousand people died from the deleterious effects of long term alcohol use today as well.
...and many thousands more died from drug abuse, starvation, sickness, poverty, and homelessness... but some c*nt who convinced people to pay way too much for a purse makes the headlines when she kills herself.
Yeah, when rich people who have it all life and can have whatever they want, suddenly commit suicide... the media makes it a big thing.

If you all want to wallow in your "have not" status, please continue....

The reason is that really... nobody cares if something happens to someone they've never heard of. So if Fawx News broadcasts that Jimbob from hillbilly town had a stroke... maybe only close friends or relatives will care. Nobody else would.
But if they broadcast about someone millions of people know about, there's a lot of money in that... so it's understandable why we don't hear about non-famous people.

Nobody is... my point was the media and the big deal people make of it (not me).

You may be confusing "have not status" with "wondering why we should give half a flying fuck about some rich bitch who died". Big difference.

Hopefully that cleaning lady got some hush money to keep her from revealing the embarrassing details.
