Not to be unkind...

but is it really major world news that Martha Stewart's dog died today?

I mean, when I looked at CNN earlier, it was the third story down, beaten only by the Pope's visit to the US and a guilty verdict in a beheading case.

Although, thankfully (?) it was thought to be more important than the story about the pot smoking toddler.
