Where is Caylee Anthony?

[Kevin]

Yet you apparently watch her anyhow?

Don't you think it's a little sick for you to be using the potential murder of a child by its mother for entertainment purposes?

Fixed your post. This was a child, not an "it".

There are hundreds of children who disappear each year, of all races. What I find particularly despicable about this particular mother is that she partied while her "missing" child was rotting into a skeleton and seems to be morally bankrupt - whether she murdered her daughter or not.

Again... so what? How is this story more important than the hundreds/thousands of other stories exactly like it where the parents went on partying/doing drugs after killing the kids, locking them in cages, starving them to death, sexually abusing them, etc.?

The news networks are selling ads with this story. Folks who think this is important stuff help them do that.

I'm not sure what's more deplorable -- being the actual killer here (if there is one, unlike what Nancy Grace would have you believe, there's not even enough evidence here for a prosecutor to want to try the case [the night is young though]), or cashing in on the drama, which is what Nancy Grace, etc. are doing.

So if she'd simply murdered her child then quietly contemplated her own actions, she wouldn't be morally bankrupt?

Our outrage is visceral and rooted in some sort of primal brain we don't fully understand - let's just admit that it's illogical and move on. You find this case particularly despicable because (at least in part) you were told it was despicable by retards on television.

As far as an indicator of societal defect, Nancy Grace reveals much more about any real or perceived seedy underbelly of modern America than any number of murders that have been committed.

I don't even watch Nancy Grace - I caught this on Yahoo, then CNN & Fox News. I will be the first to admit that, when it comes to the death or disappearance of a child, I am very harsh on the actions taken or not taken by the parents in light of that fact. I don't need a newscaster to guage my reaction to any uncaring act taken by the parents.

What I find truly dispicable is the various news sources picking and choosing WHICH of these crimes should receive star treatment, and which should not.

I agree. But I think people think this is even more heinous, because the mother partied and didn't report it. I hope they will reconsider the death penalty now that they body has been found (presumably.)

In a side note--On the comparison of Nancy Grace to Paula Deen-- at least Paula Deen gives us some really good comfort food recipes. *lmao* She is a little annoying, but her restaurant kicks ass. We try to go there once a year.... *sigh* but it's been a while.

Agreed - this is pretty much the point I was trying to make, stated more elegantly.

To be honest, I've watched maybe 2 shows? Commercials about Nancy Grace annoy me. Commercials with Paula Dean annoy me. When she's on programs on CNN that I actually like, she annoys me. When Paula Dean's on Iron Chef America, she annoys me.

I don't have to watch the show to know that half of what she puts forth is sensationalism, and the other half is not substantial news anyway. I feel like I get more newsworthy analysis from Law & Order.

ETA: I know I haven't watched anything on her show about the Caylee Anthony stuff - but I did notice an ad for her show on the linked website about the child's body.

[Kevin]

What Grace does is effing sick. What she's essentially doing here is helping her bosses cash in on the death of a three year old. I hope I'm not the only person out there who has a huge problem with this.

It's fine to tell us about it when she goes missing -- we may be of help finding her or providing the police with information. At this point though? It's just cynical cashing in.

lol... I never connected those wonderful cookies with the awful things they're now associated with! I won't let GC ruin this for me!!! How 'bout we just quietly change the name to Yummy Chocolate Butter Cookies?

[agzg]

Any cookie with "butter" in the title gets a no from me.

And YES, that INCLUDES Peanut Butter.

Butter may be perfectly acceptable as an ingredient, but if you can't come up with anything more descriptive than "butter something or other" for a name the cookie probably isn't that good anyway.

ETA: I need to stop hijacking this thread.

Caylee Anthony. Poor little girl. Very sad story. Nancy Grace is evil.

Resume thread.

Why do you say she's evil? Don't get me wrong..I don't like her, but so many people I know think she's like God's gift to mankind. I'm curious to hear from someone else who doesn't like her.

Back to Caylee: such a sad situation. Hearbreaking really.

You think it's a-okay to cash in on human tragedy by promoting it and selling it in an effort to get people to watch advertising during your tv show?

True, but Nany Grace isn't the only one who does it.

Greta von Susteran is still talking about the Natalie Holloway case.

You're kidding I hope.
