The "Crocodile Hunter", Steve Erwin, died a couple of weeks ago. Last night on TV they were showing clips from an interview his wife did with Barbara Walters. Two questions:
1. Why on earth would anyone want to bother this poor grieving woman just to get ratings?
2. Why on earth would she agree to be interviewed such a short time after her husband died? She was sobbing, having a hard time holding it together. Who told her this was a good idea? Did she think it was a good idea? I am sure that, at some point in the interview, she probably brought out some hoary old chestnut like, "Steve would have wanted me to do this interview", or, "it's to educate people about the dangers of stingrays". Oh, please.
It reminds me of the Don Henley song "Dirty Laundry" -
"Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set - we need dirty laundry"
