Some of you may have read about a maxi yacht that went down off Port Kembla last weekend
http://www.smh.com.au/national/she-was-my-first-mate-my-soul-mate-20091017-h22j.html
I knew one of the victims (good mate of her sister). While both of the victims were demi-yacting celebrities, they were unknown to most Australians. Yet both families were expected to front the media and give them some tasty video bites for the nightly news.
This is not an isolated incident involving unknown Australians. Is it just me, or do you find this intrusion pretty offensive?
