she died as she lived: a mote in the public eye, inhabiting the vulgar identity she nurtured without shame. we are not obligated to fabricate a hagiography for the woman simply because she shuffled off this mortal coil ignominiously, choking on her own vomit in a sarasota hotel room. furthermore, no one is celebrating her death. the real tragedy will be if we don't see this as a warning to those who, blinded by fame and wealth, would pursue it to their own, inevitable destruction. also, speaking of tragedies, it saddens me that someone would pollute this otherwise reasonable forum with their vile prejudices. there are other places on the internet more suited for that type of hatred. perhaps you should find your way to a neo-nazi message board where you can be surrounded by other mongoloids that share your penchant for spinning spiteful conspiracy theory at the expense of other humans' dignity.

Jeh: I'm one to dabble in wanton hyperbole (the more absurd the better), so I like to think I respect the artform in all its representations. But bigotry is an altogether different animal, and it will certainly not be welcome in the comments section of this site, as the writers here will not stand for it. No one cares how much you hate people you've never met (and obviously know nothing about). It's NOT a fine line, so watch your step.

Wow, y'all have managed to cram grave-dancing, fake-boob jokes, and anti-Semitism into this obituary! Very tasteful, life-judges. My favorite so far is the jew-basher, because at least he's got some balls talking that kind of shit. So what if Vickie Lynn was a tragic victim of our cannibalistic celebrity culture and a sad prescription drug addict? I guess when some people die it doesn't really matter!

She was a severely screwed up person. I'm not sure it is necessary to dance her grave, though.

the pinnacle of 'can't take it with you' stories if there ever was one. . .

Anna Nicole, dead at 40. Her breasts, were 24.
