You're absolutely right, I don't want to dictate how people should grieve. I'm just making an observation and stating my opinion. But I think the difference is, in this case, nobody I know is actually
grieving for Amy Winehouse. They see an opportunity to make some kind of snarky comment (She should have gone to rehab! LOLOL!) and feel that such a waste of energy is a better use of their time than something like "Wow the attacks in Norway are horrendous!"
I guess it's less disgust at how people grieve and more disgust at the nature of Facebook and social networking. To the facebook thread!
