Will the Schaivo Funeral be exploitive as well?

[cidliz2004]

I know Michael won't exploit it, but will the Shindlers?

[Liberal Veteran]

1. Sadly, it would not surprise me at this point.

Anyone who thinks this is the end of it is kidding themselves.

[ohio_liberal]

2. I'm sure they'll try

I predict one of the Schindlers or a "spokesman" will be on every possible news show within 48 hours, howling about Michael Schiavo.

[ronnykmarshall]

15. They already are.

Within an hour of Terri's death, the Schindler's lawyer was attacking Michael.

I pretict there will be TWO services and the Schindler's will have it televised.

3. Does a bear live in the woods? Is the pope Catholic? n/t

4. I wouldn't be surprised if the Shindlers sell tickets! And film rights.

They would sell autopsy pix if they got them. Monsters.

[beyurslf]

13. I am surprised there hasn't been a film. Who would own those rights?

Michael? Her parents? Surely there will be some made for tv crap thrown at us.

[Ms Chicklet]

5. The Schwindlers will make it so.

They'll have their terrorist spokesman Randall Terry to do their dirty work while they look appropriately mournful and no one in the lapdog media will dare to question the "grieving parents" over their conduct and affiliations.

Fortunately, Michael Schiavo has final say on the funeral and burial, too. I wish he'd do a private mass, only telling her parents at the last minute, then getting it over with before Bullying Bob Schindler can create a sideshow out of it. Then he should scatter his wife's ashes and not tell the Schindlers where. That way, there's no gravesite the Schindlers can use for their own exploitive purposes.

6. My bet is they will try to have their own funeral for her

at the same time a private ceremoney is conducted. They will invite the media, the fundies, and charge admittance. They will NEVER let go, NEVER. It is appalling.

[daleo]

19. And film it and sell the video - my bet. n/t

[MessiahRp]

7. Of course it will..

Especially with all the networks that will try to muscle in to exploit it in the name of right wing viewership.

8. A-DUH

That's like asking if the earth will be there when you wake up.

[zbdent]

9. You thought the Reagan funeral was overhyped . . .

watch for the wailing 24/7 . . .

[Joey Liberal]

10. The right wingers will expoit it bigtime

Sad, but true.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. And, every preacher will be howlin' and passing the basket.

Not to mention the long line of politicians grabbing the camera.

[Crankie Avalon]

12. Isn't she to be cremated? I hope her ashes will be scattered...

...over some place she loved.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if she was buried somewhere and the grave was turned into some shrine for fundamentalist ghouls to continue exploiting in "pilgrimmage."

[Junkdrawer]

16. Autopsy -> Cremation -> Ashes buried privately in Michael's plot.

I don't think the plan has changed...

[MountainLaurel]

20. Schindlers won't allow that

Because apparently it's against their religion, and from what I understand a judge has agreed. (It's somewhere on another of the thousand TS threads.)

So there's gonna be a coffin, and probably a parade stand for the media.

[arwalden]

14. Of Course They Will! -- They Are Manipulative And Obsessive...

... they are incapable of stopping themselves from their compulsion to interfere and to try and make THEMSELVES the center of attention.

[saracat]

17. All Shindler all the time!" Give me back my child" !

Barf! If they wanted her so bad , why did they return her to a nursing home after they had her for two weeks? They said caring for her was overwhelming! Now they lie about how they would have taken care of her. OOOh, I am just sickened!:puke:

[elperromagico]

18. Wrong on both counts. The media will exploit it. n/t

[Endangered Specie]

21. Republicans will probaly exploit it worse than Reagan's funeral..

I bet you money on it.
