The Earrings From a Dead Woman

I was shocked today when I followed a link to an article about the tragic suicide of young British actress Lucy Gordon. As I read the blurb, I noticed in the picture that there were price tags on her earrings and blouse. When you rolled over, conveniently the brand and the price were displayed.

I felt absolutely sickened. Tragedy and commerce, I know, are unfortunately often strange and necessary bedfellows. However, this was sick and disgusting. I am torn as to whether to offer the link as an example or to not contribute anymore to the shameless commerce. I think I will opt for the second choice and not join the "obsessed".
