If it had naked the news I probably wouldn’t mind so much. ;)
The sad fact is, this isn’t really ragebait. The media has always treated the ruling class as more important than us plebians. For much of history- the public kind of agreed with them about that and no one raged about it. It’s only fairly recently that it’s become slightly more mainstream for people to be class conscious (in the last 100 years at least). I’m sure IrishstarDOTcom just thought this was a newsworthy death.
Haha that’s an acceptable typo :)
Maybe it works online because it can simultaneously be ragebait and idol bait. But you are correct, the obsession especially for women for some reason with the aristocrat celebs is baffling

Now I’m wondering if NakedNews is still a thing… Haven’t thought of that in many years.
Edit: apparently so. At least the website still exists.
