The Romans knew about that? I really never thought about...

But still, a personality, important or rich person, is an example of the
possibilities and limits we can go, so when a person like that dies, it
shows to us that all the money and status are not important, can not
save his(her) life, still a common human being, so in some way we got
frustrated... besides that, all the TV, Radio, Newspaper and Magazines
need to make money with *anything different*, and will explore the
subject while it generates the extra dollar. Pure money issues, nothing
else.... or do you really thing that Diana's funeral worldwide TV
coverage was just "for free"?
