The Australian last month featured the article, Pap 'offered shots of dying Di' and even though the story was mildly interesting, its come just that little bit too late... ten years late. Basically, the article talks about a photographer, Romuald Rat and his driver Stephane Darmon taking photos of a dying Princess Diana, without offering assistance to ensure a deal of $672, 800 with the well-known Sun Tabloid. The photos consist of a close-to-death princess with blood running down her face and the second of an oxygen mask being held to her face that has smeared the blood over her complexion. The second photo was published as the entire front cover of an Italian gossip magazine "Chi Exclusiva Mondiale" the day after Di's death, so the photos aren't a new discovery. So why are we still bringing it up? If we're not going to leave the ten-year-old issue alone then we're as bad as the Italians who used images of her dying moments to sell a few magazines. Steve Irwin, Anna Nicole Smith and Mother Teresa have all vacated 'the building of life' in the past ten years and there's no weekly spread about these incidents being murder. In saying that, next week we'll probably enjoy reading some goof's story about how Mother Teresa was in the mafia and was murdered by her own gang or how Bindi Irwin hired a scuba diving hit-man in order to steel her father's fame. In this case, all I can ask is, won't some one please stop the madness?
