Brittany Murphy’s Dead. And you don’t care.
Brittany Murphy died of a drug overdose the other day. They haven’t officially said ‘drug overdose’ yet but why else would a skinny blonde girl with a deviated septum go into cardiac arrest? Yea, Cocaine is one hell of a drug.
But her death and the circumstances surrounding it are of little interest to me. What does interest me is the apparent lack of interest in her death. If I were to compile a list of 2009 Celebrity deaths and order them by the entertainment they provided me, MJ would undoubtedly be first and Murphy would steal last place from Alliyah who is famous for songs such as “The one on the Dr. Dolittle Soundtrack.”
I feel compelled to provide some reasons why her death is boring and maybe some insight into why people are just feigning interest but I simply don’t want to because it is boring. As far as I see it, disinterest in Murphy’s death is coming from two places. The first is the fact that the general population has been overloaded with ‘celebrity’ deaths and as a result have become desensitized. With Murphy capping of 2009, Americans are collectively realizing that unless Madonna dies we’re pretty much over it. The second and cardinal reason for the disinterest can be attributed to her general lack of talent in everything she was involved in other than looking smoking hot.
