Another One Bites The Dust

Breaking news! Whitney Houston died! Wait, what? I thought she died like 10 years ago when she was so high on cocaine she couldn't remember her own name. I get it, she used to be this big shot singer. But that was a very long time ago. In the last decade(+) leading up to her death she was a drug riddled misfit that destroyed her vocal cords from the copious amounts of cocaine she abused. What I am trying to figure out is why she is getting so much publicity for this? SHE WAS AN ADDICT PEOPLE! She abused drugs, screwed up her career, and made a complete ass of herself. I get respecting the dead and all, but why is she being glorified? Nobody has given a shit about this woman in a very long time, and she has been the butt of many a blow joke so why does everybody care now? It's tacky when all the people who used to laugh at her expense are now her biggest mourners. She lived a druggie, and died in the same way. Why should she get so much attention for her demise when it was brought about by her own mistakes? I might have just a bit more compassion if she had made an honest attempt to get her shit together, but she didn't, and I don't think such stupidity should be glamourized. It's pathetic and shows just how ridiciulous and shallow people are. There are troops that die everyday in honor of their country, fighting for these idiots to continue living their lives in drug-induced states, and do you think they get the kind of respect and notorieity like Whitney and Amy Winehouse? That's a big hell no. People need to be more selective of their idols, because frankly, it's just pathetic that this woman, who put Charlie Sheen to shame with her drug use, is getting this kind of public attention, gets shown more gratitude in her death than the troops that were gunned down, or hit by IED's. Congrats, America, you have reduced yourselves to an all-time low. I so hope you are proud of yourselves.
