No one saying 'funeral' being filmed/televised.
This is a "public memorial", & I doubt you can give a media "exclusives" to it.
ITA-the concept of "exclusive" rights taints this "public" memorial. How can it be "public" yet "exclusive"?:waitasec:
I agree, with a big but-I don't think the memorial should be broadcast if there is ANY chance that that KC, JB, or the A's are receiving any $, either directly or thru some third party.
I also doubt that CA is as in charge of this as the media is stating....JB and KC still have control and I believe they may be letting CA play at deciding things about the service to placate her, but this will be done exactly as JB wishes, to shine the most flavorable light on KC- look for speeches at the memorial about what a wonderful mother KC was, how much she loved Caylee, how heartbroken she is not to be there, etc, etc, etc.....JMO
How do you have a "public memorial" without announcing it ??
NO!!!!! Caylee's memorial service should absolutely not be videotaped!!! Media members should be welcome to attend, but no pictures, no note taking. If they feel compelled to report on what went on at the service, they can do so from memory. Why? Because if they are attending Caylee's service, it should be to grieve and mourn and pay their respects to Caylee - not to ride the Caylee circus frenzy.
I would love to attend Caylee's service. Unfortunately, I can not. I can easily put aside my own selfishness, out of respect for Caylee and my desire to see her treated with dignity. I can pay my respects to her sweet memory in many ways - by sitting in a park here in the town where I live, and looking at pictures of her, or just thinking of her and of life, reading poetry, praying in my own unique way.
The cost to Caylee's dignity is too great for her memorial service to be televised with the circus that would inevitably surround it. There is nothing about my desire or need to attend or watch her service that warrants that cost.
Caylee has been disrespected far more than enough. It needs to stop.
MOO
It can't ..
"Exclusive" rights to film or take pictures are SOLD all the time.
If NO "exclusives" happen, I don't object.
The right to be the only one to take pictures or film CAN be bought and sold.
If this doesn't happen I think televising the event is fine.
That's just it. I don't think the memorial service should be public. You'd think with GA's recent go around in the hospital they'd want to have a private memorial service, rather than public.
I just don't like it - can't help the way I feel.
I knew people were goning to compare this to Princess Diana! There is no comparison! This is a murdered child who's life was cut short from dreams of wanting to be a princess. I understand how many of us in society would love to see her little bones respected but not in such a gradios way that has been displayed so far from the family. I would love to have John Walsh comment on this. :banghead:I'm just going to throw this out there for "food for thought". How many of us watched the funeral, not public memorial, but funeral for Princess Diana? This was televised in order for the entire world to be part of the funeral, to grieve, to pray to be a distant part of Princess Diana. I can remember the funeral being televised for President Kenndy etc., etc.
Televising Caylee's memorial (NOT funeral) will help people from all around the world start to heal.
I also believe that the media knows how to behave and respect Caylee's public memorial.
