I don’t mean to be insensitive to Farrah Fawcett, her family or any teen boy whose ever got “romantic” with her pin up, but is all this protest really necessary?

Some seem to be up in arms that Farrah was not included in the “In Memoriam” section of the Oscars on Sunday.

So the question is: did they leave her out on purpose? The answer appears to be yes. A rep for the Academy Awards has said they can’t include everyone.

I won’t try to debate whether she should, or should not have been included. She was an actress, so I think she would qualify.

Also, what about Bea Arthur, Billy Mays, Alania Reed Hall (Susan from Sesame Street), Ed McMahon, Don Hewitt (60 Minutes producer), Henry Gibson and Ricardo “Fantasy Island” Montalban!

They didn’t make the cut either. I think this is a situation where you can’t please everybody, because it’s such a subjective topic.

I say if you want to remember Farrah, go rent Logan’s Run, The Cannonball Run or the original Charlie’s Angel’s on DVD. I’m sure she’d want to be recalled for her life, rather than her death.
