Doc Searls has a modest proposal for what to do with Anna Nicole Smithy's remains:

Well, since Dr. Perper has already conducted a complete autopsy, requiring the admitedly temporary reassembly of Ms. Smith's remains, why not divvy them up like the relics of a saint? Perhaps bits of the pop culture goddess could repose in reliquaries at CNN , Playboy and other shrines, sparing members of her faith long trips to the Bahamas, Texas or wherever.

My wife's cynical theory is that some of these stories get play so that media folks can arrange a pleasant vacation - and there sure seemed to be a lot more "on location" reporting about Natalie Holloway than there was about anyone who disappeared in, say, Fargo.
