Amy Winehouse

This sums up my opinion of Amy Winehouse mourning on the web, in the media (something I said to a friend):

"The thing that makes it less sad and upsetting to me is that she was basically a moderately talented person with a mediocre record, but years and years of press built her up to be something more, setting her up for this final tragic fall. And we care more about it than something that was motivated by a political situation that the leaders of the world seem to encourage, rather than want to do anything about. It's sad because our priorities seem fucked up to me when we equate the two things. I'm not raging against you Ginger, I just totally feel differently about it."
