If I don't give a damn about Natalee Holloway, does that make me a dick?
I mean, i am quite sure her parents are devatstated as losing a child is a horrible thing, but what the hell is this obsession with this one girl missing from a vacation in the Carribean? How the hell is this ANY different from the thousands of young people that go missing in this country every year THAT NO ONE PAYS ANY ATTENTION TO?????

I'm feel for Mr and Mrs Holloway and the grief they must be feeling but get a fucking grip, Faux news!

Oh!...sorry.....i forgot...they're "Fair and Balanced"

4. JonBenet, OJ, Chandra, Terri, blah blah blah
There is no lack of news out there. There are plenty of stories people would be interested in. I just wish they wouldn't cover the same ones all the time.

I feel very bad for the parents, but I don't think the constant news coverage is helping their cause at this point.

5. I don't care either.
If see was a fat black girl, I'm sure the media wouldn't give a fuck.
Also, hundreds of thousands of people go missing each year, where is their 24/7 coverage?:shrug:

This story, imo, is not national news. Enough already.
