Modern Day Marilyn Monroe?

I heard a vacuous reference today on one of the cable news channels (I know not which one) referring to Anna Nicole Smith as the “modern day Marilyn Monroe.”  I was dumbfounded.  My first thought was: Who in God’s name could possibly make that correlation?

C’mon, people.  There simply is no comparison.  Just take a look at this photograph:

Marilyn Monroe

That right.  That was a woman! 

Anna Nicole Smith was no Marilyn Monroe!  Monroe actually had a shred of acting ability in her bones.  And she was pretty—not just an idiot sex machine.

Besides, I’m still pissed off because I wasn’t allowed to watch any news this weekend because Smith’s death positively monopolized the damned airwaves!!!!!!

Did I make my point?

Sorry to piss on everyone’s parade, but the “Anna Nicole-harpy” wasn’t worth it.  (Notice how it’s taken a while for anyone to come forward and claim her corpse!?!)  For all you Anna Nicole Smith fans out there, click on the audio control below:

Yes.  It’s sad, but true.

    Come come, Effluent, you knew that the comparisons were forthcoming. I agree with you that Monroe was a stunning woman and, though troubled, she was not the ditzy airhead the press made her out to be. Anna Nicole, on the otherhand, was about as vapid as a blow-up doll, and just as plastic. –Goodbye, Norma Jean…
