Sources close to the subject say: "LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE!"
WARNING: This post is a rant and will offend someone. Deal with it.
You know what I think people need to re-learn? A sense of decency regarding those who have died. I dont mean not making the occasional joke years later, but I mean the continual disgrace of mulling over every tiny facet to make a story more interesting...
Example one...Private Jacob Kovco. As "the first Australian soldier to die while deployed to the Middle Eastern Area of Operations" it was inevitable that it would get some attention in the press. But because he was shot in the head, supposedly by himself messing around, the rumour and controversy mills began running, and they're still humming along...hell, there's even a wikipedia page about this.
There was a news article on Ninemsn Today titled "Kovco 'tearfully revealed molestation'"....you know what I say in response to that? LEAVE THE POOR GUY ALONE AND LET HIM REST IN PEACE WITH SOME DECENCY LEFT! Seriously, what the fuck...does the public really need to know intimate details of an otehrwise normal citizen? NO, they dont, so they shouldnt.
Example two...Princess Diana. She's died in 1997, and there's still a regular stream of articles about her, and her death...even though she's been dead for OVER A DECADE...need I say more?
Seriously, find some real news to read.
