Out of touch

Yesterday, a co-worker felt the need to tell me that Anna Nicole Smith died.  She was all excited about the news.  I could tell by her tone and choice of words that she didn't approve of the woman.  I listened to her synopsis of the news item.

Then I  committed a terrible sin.  I asked, innocently enough, "Who is Anna Nicole Smith?"

And to some of us, this comes as no surprise :-)

She fell well below my radar many years ago in spite of relatively recent appearances on a variety of TV shows (perhaps I don't watch enough TV anymore).

I don't take any pleasure at her death but I guess I'm not surprised that some are. Dismayed and disappointed, perhaps, but not surprised. Somehom she managed to offend people who never knew her.
