Re: Beckham's armored BMW X5 stolen. - 11-05-2005, 03:57 PM

Damn Dominix.... chill out a bit buddy,.. no need to get cheesed off at the media, they're just doing their job.

Ofcourse if you compare the 'value' of this story, it pales in significance to more humane issues such as poverty and war, ...but the media isn't concerned with providing topics which are ethically and socially more important... they are concerned with providing a story which sells.
The Beck's are big news over there, so an media company over there would be absolutely crazy not to publish this news. Yes it was just 1 of his many cars which was stolen,...but ofcourse people are going to want to read about how David Beckham's car got stolen rather than some Tom, Dick or Harry's cars getting stolen.
Publicity sells... it's simple business in the end. People don't wanna hear about kid starving in Africa because it makes them feel guilty, ..but report how Beck's car got stolen and people feel good and laugh a little at him.
Give the public the news they want and they'll keep buying your magazine or newspaper. ..money money money.

As for his car being stolen..... kind of ironical actually... how he tries so hard putting state of the art security systems around his house..and then some thieves take off with his car outside a hotel.
