The woman's no more nauseating than the newspaper it's selling.

And they're spookily right - that little girl is blonde and small, just like the missing girl and quite unlike, er, millions of others.

Which, in turn, is less nauseating than the overkill coverage the whole thing's been getting. Front page pictures every day. There is no story (she's still missing...), so they've got to make up something.

The radio had a thing about how the parents are hoping to get an audience with the Pope. That was the story. No mention of why they want it or what the Pope might do.

i had a mass email from an otherwise intelligent friend saying 'please forward to everyone in your address book in case anyone knows anything', and about how it would 'vindicate the internet' if it worked.

It's obviously awful for the parents, but this really isn't the most important thing happening. People are going missing every day. Dozens are being killed in Iraq alone, every day.

But we love the innocent littel girls, don't we? Madeleine, Holly and Jessica. The older and more maile you are, the less coverage you get. As Bill Hicks said, they hit a certain age and they're off your love list.
