Channel Seven exploit JonBenet

Trust Channel Seven to take a perfectly painful, sensitive matter and exploit it for profit. After all, it is their reason for existence these days!

This Saturday night they're replaying that movie about the whole affair. I think it's called Perfect Town, Perfect Murder, or maybe it's the other way around.

Pretty tacky, eh! And a little counter productive, I would've thought, given the current confession, given that from what I recall of the movie it rather leaves open the suggestion that the parents did it.

Which leaves me wondering if maybe they're editorialising a bit. Making a subtle statement that they don't believe Mr Karr's version of events. I haven't been paying a lot of attention to their news lately, but the ads at least have been spruiking stories of Mr Karr's alegedly menatally ill past.

Guess we'll have to wait and see where they go with that. In the meantime, please don't reward their cynicism with ratings by watching it! Ta!
