    As much as i am feeling pity for the souls who lost their lifes in New York,i have to say im pissed of that my daily newspaper is polluted daily by this story.
    Its similar to the Diana story,the papers were full of her deth for months.
    Now its not worth buying a paper,they are full of sensationalism,folks trying yo sell papers.I havent bought a paper for weeks now mainly because they are full of the same storys which are being repeated om and on.
    Im sorry but im fucking bored by this now.

    But with the crucial differences being: Di's death was relatively insignificant in the big picture, and it was a singular, closed-end event (poof, she died, her family & followers wept, what else salient is there to say?).

    I agree that the Di saturation was disproportionate and exruciatingly intolerable. I don't know what UK papers you read or how they're covering it - and granted, this is a more urgent and important matter for the US than the UK - but the US papers I mainly read (Wash.Post, USA Today) are keeping focus on developments politically and militarily, rather than rehashing 9-11 pics & anecdotes.

    Don't expect to be un-bored anytime soon.
