Even in Death, Marilyn is not left in peace

A few days back I had talked of the madness of the USA when Michael Jacksons autopsy table photographs were being sold for $ 2 millions.
Here is another example of USAs madness.


"Grave above Monroes fails to sell : London Nov: 1
She may have been one of the most glamorous stars of all times in Hollywood but the burial vault above Marilyn Monroe's grave has failed to fetch any buyers. Attempts to sell the crypt above icon's grave have failed for a second time as the latest auction of the marble vault did not fetch any bids, BBC news reported. Elsie Poncher first tried to selling her late husband Richard's tomb for $ Rs 4.6 million in August,according to organizer Eric Gazin, of AuctionCause.com. According to reports, Poncher is seeking to sell the space of her husband, face down above Marilyn, to pay off the mortgage on her Beverly Hills home".


The above reminds me of a joke in my school days.
Elvis had a beautiful lock of hairs which some of his fans used to copy.
Many persitent fans used to ask for a strand of his mop as momento.
He wouldn't deny the request of any of his millions of fans.
His girl friend, I forget her name, was alarmed and asked him if he did not fear beoming bald.
Elvis smiled and asked, " Why should I fear? It is for my dog to fear".
The above was a joke.
But what do you call the above?
Voyeurism, Narcissm or sadism?
