The show must go on?

As a former supporter of Wildlife Preservation Trust International (WPTI), I have to confess that I was never one of Irwin's fans. I visited the WPTI Zoo on the Isle of Jersey (in the English Channel); and, while it may sound dull, the opportunity for extended conversation with curators who really knew their stuff trumps Joe-sixpack-style entertainment any day in my book. I do not doubt that Irwin was serious about wildlife, but I wonder to what extent this all had to do with the strategy of American television producers to exploit that seriousness for their own interests. Now we are being treated [SIC] to a video of the guy's last moments. It looks like most of the ugly visions of Paddy Chayefsky's NETWORK have now become reality.
