Petra Nemcova and Laxatives

She's the model who survived the tsunami but lost her photographer boyfriend. She has a book out now and in an interview with Self magazine admitted that she abused laxatives.

She's also in the new People Magazine. She's getting a lot of hype from this whole sunami thing. At least the profits from her book are going to charity.

I have to say that although it's great the profits will go to charity, I'm kind of sick of the media focusing on the relatively few westerners hurt/killed in this tragedy. A few thousand westerners compared to over 200 thousand locals. And how often do we hear about them? The westerners were able to come home, the locals are still trying to put thier lives back together. And it's last year's tragedy, so no one really gives a shit any more, except when CNN, BBC, etc. do a big 'it was so awful' special on the 26th. And I bet individual focus will go on westerners, with lots of group stories on the locals.

Well, she's trying to help the locals with the profit of her book.

I've read a hell of a lot of stories about the locals, including the main article in the NYT magazine section this weekend. If no one writes that story, how come we all know so much about it?
