Speaking of Youtube, I finally (thanks to our friend why_nut) saw the infamous "I couldn't hear you" routine between John and Tricia. Someone there said it best: WHY is Patsy always SMILING?! Her kid was killed right under her nose! WTF does she have to SMILE about?!

Aunt Pam is just as bad...she was just all smiles and couldn't have been more pleased when Karr was hauled back to the US..no anger whatsoever.(ohhh I really wanted to slap her over that little ML dig! she just HAD to throw that in!!)

The following post is the opinion of SuperDave, and does not necessarily reflect the views of anyone else.
If I may be serious for a moment, a thought occurred to me. Maybe I'm just going over old ground here, but I don't believe in coincidences, and something just kind of jumped out at me.
Does anyone remember that picture of JB done up like Marilyn Monroe, complete with the name badge? I do. Now, let's walk this through: what do JB and MM have in common? Well, they were both known for their good looks, and they both died tragically. THUS, my realization.
I have no doubt that it was Patsy who thought that little performance up. Who better to associate your beauty queen daughter with than the most famous blonde of all time? But, what most people overlook is this: one of the big reasons why Marilyn's legend is so strong is because she died tragically. Marilyn died young and at the peak of her fame, her beauty undiminished. She was not allowed to grow old and obscure. (Case in point: Elizabeth Taylor. I love Liz, always will. But I can't help but wonder ['cause I'm weird that way] what it would have been like if she had died fairly young, before all of her health problems and failed marriages relegated her to the pages of supermarket rags. Say, now that I think of it, Patsy kind of resembled Liz, didn't she? Dark-haired, great-looking in her day, health problems, getting older...hmm. This is like a bad Twilight Zone episode!)
Well, what happened to Marilyn happened to JB, and I can't help but wonder if for the same reason. Remember when I gave that spiel about how a person can achieve greater fame dead than alive (ex: "Che" Guevara)? I don't necessarily mean that JB's death was premeditated (although, there may be those who do). I'm just saying that, if it did start out as an unintentional killing, it might explain to all those naysayers why 911 wasn't called and why all of the staging was done: a child beauty queen, so destined for greatness killed in a common, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill, humdrum domestic incident? That would NEVER do! She was so spectacular in life. She HAD to be spectacular in death. Nothing but the best (or worst, depending on how you see it) for JB. And she IS spectacular in death! Her death made her more well-known to more people than all of her performances put together. Not to mention that it's almost 12 years and people STILL remember her! But a child beauty queen murdered by a revenge-driven pedophile terrorist in her palazzo home right under the noses of her wealthy parents? How cool is that!
I admit, I'm just spitballing, but in good faith, based on the opinions of people like Mike Kane, who said Patsy loved being famous as the mother of a dead beauty queen, and Patsy's own behavior, namely putting such a profound, almost obsessive investment in her daughter and likening her to beautiful blondes who died tragically, such as Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana. (Remember how Patsy couldn't WAIT to comment on Diana's passing in regard to JB? So do I.)

Well put, and I agree with the idea as well. I had also mentioned that same thought: that PR "adjusted " so well to the horrible death of her little girl because it was easier for her to have an "eternal beauty queen" who COULD have grown up to be Miss America than to have had a former child beauty queen who grew up to be too rebellious to continue or too physically unattractive to win. Imagine PR dealing with JBR if she had "awkward" teen years with acne and weight problems. That would have put someone as shallow as PR right over the edge (and had Nedra spinning in her grave).
No, better to bypass the possible teen pregnancy/bad skin/bad attitude and bask in the limelight of being the mother of the world's most famous child beauty queen/ child murder victim.

sure but Diana died in '97,so she had to have thought that one up later.although yes,it does make sense that she assoc. JB with MM.seems Patsy liked impersonating or trying to relate to famous ppl;dressing like Jackie Kennedy and mimicking her at JB's funeral comes to mind.
That's what I was trying to get across.
She did think that one up later; that's what I said:
"Remember how Patsy couldn't WAIT to comment on Diana's passing in regard to JB?"
Relating to famous TRAGIC people, JMO.
