The Thai tabloids ain't nut'n to mess wit!!!

The Carradine death coverage continues, with numerous 'interpretations' dominating blogs. I won't use this blog to recount the more salacious and disrespectful rumors, but note that the Thai tabloids took the extra step in publishing the death pics.

It's not a revelation to say that international tabloids operate with different standards that American tabloids, but this move is pretty sad. Like Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes, international tabloids don't flinch when it comes to the gruesome. But it was a horrific move, on Thailand's part, to publish this pic, especially if it turns out that Carradine's death was the result of foul play. Any possible perpetrator would likely get off to the idea that their handiwork can and would be seen around the world.

Again, I always have a problem with people who can do certain things not debating whether they should do it. But this does shed a light on American tabloids who continue to make accusations about celebs but fail to produce photographic evidence, which seems easier to obtain than Carradine's death pics.

All the same... this story continues to get sadder because of journalistic irresponsibility.
