Natalee Holloway: Raise Your Hand if you Still Care
Written by Gwen at 9:53 PM
So im sure that by now everybody knows that when they drained that pond in Aruba, they didn't find Natalee's body. Yet im equally sure that by now nobody was really biting their nails over it either. I know I sure wasn't! And if I was, it was because I was so annoyed with the whole drawn-out situation. Listen up Fox news.
#1- i hate to say this but when i read about a crime, i sometimes have to smack my forehead and think that the victim was kind of asking for it. if i went to some seedy bar in aruba and trusted 3 random guys to drive my drunk ass back to the hotel, i could pretty much assume that i was about to get raped and tossed into the ocean. seriously.
#2- ok it's kind of a bummer that people are like that, but they just are, and being 18 natalee should have realized that by now. of course her disappearance warranted some media coverage, but her story is dominating CNN like leather is outta style. SHE JUST ISN'T THAT IMPORTANT. NO ONE IS. It's just embarassingly obvious why the media is fixated on it too: what tv station doesn't jump at the chance to shamlessly showcase shot after shot of rich, barely-legal blonde girls in exotic locations?
#3- bad stuff happens to other people too. If an overweight minority got 'lost' in some mundane location such as, say, Oregon, the media wouldn't care!

I rest my freaking case!
3 Notes -
I agree completely, the girl was asking to have something happen to her, who goes out ALONE in another country and gets wasted with 3 random guys and expects to have nothing happen to them, she's a moron.
There's a million other stories that deserve to be mentioned everyday instead of that, liek the famine in Niger for instance, I was required to read the newspaper everyday for the past 7 weeks, i think i read 8 or 9 stories about Natalee Holloway, but Niger was never mentioned, over 100 children die there everyday, the amount of money being wasted to look for the stupid girl in Aruba could be used to save ALL of them, is finding a pile of bones really more important than saving an entire country from starvation?
i no it sounds insensitive, especially to that poor girl's mom, but i kinda of agree with you, especially your last point.
i'm sorry for their loss but i thin kwe all know this isn't some grisham movie and she isn't going to show up anytime in europe after plotting her escape from... dundundun... high school. RIP
there wouldn't be excess money to send to Niger if it weren't for lucrative capitalist crackpots like the newspapers reporting natalie holloway. it's a shame, though, that that money doesn't get there.
