Two days ago, a modern fundamentalist Nazi killed over ninety Norweigan people.
Yesterday, Amy Winehouse died.
Channel 4 news: "Our top story today: pop singer Amy Winehouse, aged twenty-seven, has been found dead in her London apartment. In other news, the confirmed death count in Norway has risen to ninety-two, with more still missing."
Am I the only person who thinks that's just wrong?
A person has to be the next Diana for their death to be considered more worthy of news than an unprecedented massacre of almost one hundred people. So the teenagers in Norway weren't famous singers, but that's hundreds of people who have lost someone special to them - the country hasn't seen destruction like it since WW2. Amy Winehouse... I'm sorry, but she isn't more important than they are! Not one person is! It makes me angry that the attitude towards the celebrity-civilian balance is so hideously out of proportion.
Amy Winehouse > Ninety + innocents in an inoffensive country = WRONG
