Someone on CNN has an appropriate sense of perspective, at least:
JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Is Anna Nicole Smith still dead, Wolf?
BLITZER: Yes, we're going to -- updating our viewers coming up shortly on...
CAFFERTY: I can't wait for that.
BLITZER: ... the mysterious circumstances surrounding that, Jack. Thank you.
[update: ThinkProgress has the video, and yes, it's delivered with the snarkiness you'd imagine from the above transcript]
This bullshit non-story is still on the front page of the Age [update: website, not paper, at least - although it's the full front page of the Hun], and is in the list of "top stories" on the ABC News website. Aargh.
[update:
John Rogers delivers the best response to CNN:
... if you compare Anna Nicole Smith to Marilyn Monroe unironically one more time, the shambling corpses of JFK and Bobby will claw their ways from their graves and cut a fearsome brain-eating swath of undead terror through the terrified populace until they reach your studios in Atlanta and summon down a Cthulhoid hell upon you.]
