Whatever the deal is, CNN.com is treating it like the biggest story since...well, Paris Hilton's latest "cooch on hiatus" proclamation.
This guy has been on the homepage (looking wormier in every shot), and, as of noon EST, there's a yellow "NEWS ALERT" banner at the top, where he's providing ghoulish details.
Ugh.
Just something to talk about. I'm telling you...in the age of 24/7 news, these networks live for this stuff. The whole Israel/Hezbollah thing was getting played out, the Mel Gibson thing was dying down, no city-destroying hurricanes taking place, no terrorist Gatorade arrests, etc. Then BAM...something like this drops out of the blue and it's wall-to-wall coverage, analysis, speculation, debate, re-analysis, speculation on the analysis, analysis of the speculation, coverage of the coverage, etc. At least until, of course, our favorite heiress releases a press statement next week, announcing that the Hilton Hangar is once again open for business.
