Y'know, I used to take it very personally, too. I used to think, jesus! What do they think I am? Do they think I'm an idiot or something? "I got it already! Move on!" I'd rail at the tube. Then one day I realized it wasn't for me.
They didn't care if I got it or not. They didn't care if I sat there all day watching the same thing over and over. They didn't know I was alive, so it made no difference to them.
Bummer. That meant I would have to change the channel.
My apologies for the error in the subject line. It should, of course, be "Pope".
I thought maybe Ron Popeil was the third to go and you were notifying us of the fact. ;-)

On a brighter note, Jerry Falwell continues to hang in there. Since the pope no longer needs them, channel those prayers for recovery to Jerry.
I wondered what had happened to Jerry Falwell - I guess there will be a lot of stories upsurged -- Michael Jackson, Charlie & Camille; Terry Schiavo's autopsy -
Watching CNN off and on all day (not by choice) . What a crock of US [censored].

Terry Schiavo body was cremated. Why would an autopsy have been needed, anyway?
Falwell and the pope both generated controversy and opposition, as well as loyal support from their followers, during their careers. It will be interesting to see whether obituary writers and media coverage treat them similarly. I've always found the notion that only good should be spoken of the dead a cowardly cop-out when applied to controversial people. -aem

Whooooooooa , aren't you all a 'wee bit' defensive?
Simply commenting on the massive media coverage that seemingly has transcended all other news stories.
CNN is transmitted around the world and is based in the US. Why the stupid, repetitive, repetive, repetive questions - sometimes they are informative, sometimes it's overkill.

Just an observation.
CNN is stupid and repetitive about everything, not just celebrity deaths. The major broadcast networks have been adding to their stockpiles of obit footage about the pope for years because he hasn't been well for a long time. It will take a while for them to broadcast all of it.

And the passing of Frank Perdue, the chicken man.
He was a tough old bird. Now he's up there, with Col. Sanders.
