What in shit's name is going on with all the News channels?

They are reporting the death of an 84 year old man who was terminally ill for a looong time, 24x7. I shit you not - CNN & FOX are covering the Pope's death 24X7. (Well it's been just 3 days, but exaggeration does work - doesn't it?).

What's worse, am now learning that Pope John Paul II is the only reason for the fall of Communism, for the spread of democracy, for the understanding of human rights all across the world, for establishing a path to freedom in the Middle East and basically for every damn thing that did or did not happen in the last 30 years. Also he supposedly has magical powers and can talk to God and stuff.............I wonder why he could not save his own ass then.

I wish I could just get on some channel and cry out loud that the world has freed itself of one sexually frustrated 84 year old man.
