It seems we'll have to endure this story for much longer...
Yes, I'm sure it has a profound impact on your life, so much you are now 'enduring' it.
As much as I disagree with how press happy the family seem to have become, how could anyone want a girl to be found dead rather than some story of her popping up some of the time on news? Yes, I know, I know, there are plenty of other kids missing, but another being killed is never going to be a good thing.
I thought something was scratching at the back of my head.
From Wikipedia's synopsis of the third series of BBC3's Monkey Dust:
Fran Chappell
An ordinary mother who uses her daughter's disappearance as the springboard to launch a showbiz career. She appears on TV, releases a single and much more. The girl comes back and launches her own highly successful career, while her mother's fifteen minutes of fame are ending disastrously (resulting in Fran begging outside the TV studios: "Gissa job. I'll do anything. Lezza stuff, barnyard sex, anal, Ready Steady Cook, anything.") Eventually Fran pays her daughter £100 to leave again.

Meh. Survival of the fittest. No different to a young bird being taken by a sparrowhawk or summat.
Why should I care if some kid I've never heard of is dead? Their family wouldn't give a toss if I was found dead in a ditch... And I'm, sorry, but the fact that she's 4 years old and blonde is totally immaterial.
600,000 dead in Iraq is something to get animated about. One neglected kid being taken is neither here not there in the grand scheme of things. I don't care about this one child any more than I care about the countless other people who have been murdered in the interim. We need a sense of proportion here.

Sounds like the kind of immature twidle that a 4 year old WOULD spout.
"They wouldn't care about me dying boo hoo, so I'm going to be just as small as that opinion!"
This is fast turning into Digital Spy - be proud people
Give me strength. On
Central News East
tonight, residents of Rothley give their response to the scrubland search for Madeleine being called off.
Meanwhile, the East Midlands region is lashed by torrential rain, hail, lightening and mini-tornadoes; causing flooding and major disruption to the area's transport network, creating chaos for thousands. Then again that's proper news isn't it

Don't be so silly.
The simple fact of the matter is that the only reason anyone is getting worked up about this story is that the media has drummed up business surrounding it.
I don't believe for one moment that the majority of folks who profess their grief for a total stranger are in the slightest bit interested in the other deaths around the world.
You don't know this person. I don't know this person. So why on earth should either of us care about this person, over and above anyone else?
A bloke was murdered in Sunderland the other day. Do you care about him? Seriously?
This whole sorry episode reduces personal tragedy to the level of crass celebrity status. I am not the one being small here.
And I'm willing to put money on the incidence of kids being left on their own in holiday hotel rooms being just as high in two years' time as it is now. That's how much people really care about this. It's all self-indulgent twaddle.
It may seem selfish to some, but most people go through enough **** in their own lives without having to go through the **** in the lives of total strangers.
A well coined phrase of mine at work is " My lifes complicated enough, give me some good news"
I see the media interest has waned. Until she's found of course then it'll be overdose on the coverage. I hope it's a happy ending but i fear the worst. However if i see a little girl matching her description on my travels i'll notify the appropriate authorities or even snatch her myself to pass her back onto her family.
