jennifer parcell died

no, she never had a reality show (that i'm aware of). she never was a playboy playmate (that i was aware of). she never married a 90 year old billionaire while she was in her mid twenties (well she died at 20). she never looked and sounded like she was in another dimension or was zoned out all of the time (that i am aware of).

so i can understand why the media is all abuzz over that someone else dying. she contributed so very much to our society (even though i'm being sarcastic here, i didn't wish the OTHER one dead either. believe me. i wish harm on no one no matter HOW much of a mess they are and no matter how much i don't understand why the media drools over them).

all jennifer parcell did was join the marines, go to and die in iraq. she was taking a course at the university of maryland. she sponsored an african child. she (as a marine) went to pakistan when the area was devastated by an earthquake. she was awarded a humanitarian medal for her efforts.

yet the tv blares out about the OTHER death. i'm sure it will be blaring about it for WEEKS. i'm not a cold human being but to tell you the truth i really DON'T CARE.

i DO care about jennifer parcell and every other man and women put in harm's way in iraq. that is indeed far more important to me than someone whose claim to fame is an empty head and big breasts

Young Woman Meets Tragic End -- No, It's Not Anna Nicole

NEW YORK A young woman met a sudden and tragic end, it was reported on Thursday, leaving her family and people who knew her in great distress.No, it's not Anna Nicole Smith. Her name is Jennifer Parcell, and she died in Iraq. But you'd be lucky if you could find any mention of her, amidst the front page and wall-to-wall media coverage of the likely drug-related death of "starlet" Smith. In fact, as of noon today, there were only seven press mentions, all in the area of her native Maryland, according to a Google search. In contrast to, say, Anna Nicole Smith, Parcell seemed to have a serious side. Even in Iraq, she was managing to take a course at the University of Maryland, the Baltimore Sun relates, adding: "Helping others was routine for the Marine corporal. She sponsored an African child through a mission charity. And when Pakistan was devastated by an earthquake last year, she and others in her unit were dispatched to the scene. She earned the Humanitarian Service Medal for her efforts."In fact, the Sun, in a separate story noted: "With the death of reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith yesterday, a ferocious barrage of Marilyn Monroe-like images and scattershot speculation was instantly loosed across the on-air and online landscape of 24-hour news...The one constant: The story was consistently framed in a breathless tabloid manner." ...............

to jennifer's family and friends my thoughts and prayers are with you
