Had enough Pistorius?

“Notorious Pistorius”

Have we had enough of the play by play coverage?

If you check the news every so often, I'm sure you have heard of the Pistorius Case.  

For the last few weeks this story has been at the top of the headlines without a doubt.

Since the Pistorius crime took place in South Africa...Why is this story receiving so much coverage? 

If you are like me you are fed up with this ongoing minute by minute, day by day coverage.

Have you had your fill of this hype?

The media produces these idols, and then they are mesmerized as these stars fall in disgrace.

Remember the Petraeus Affair?  

Remember how the General was lauded unceasingly during the early days of the Afghanistan - Iraq Invasions?  How eventually he was dismissed in shame for having had an inappropriate relationship? It was a salacious issue something the media relishes...

What do I see in common between Pistorius and Petraeus cases? 

Mostly, that the names sound Dutch to me.

Pistorius might be an Afrikaner, while Petraeus is of Dutch descent. 

Also, both men were heavily promoted by a media that grooms and idolizes certain people.

On a lighter note:

If you've had enough of Pistorius?

 Are you ready for the Pistolius rigmarole?
