PEARL SHOULD BE LEFT IN THE SHELL

How better to desecrate your colleague's memory than to not only suggest they're totally replaceable, but replaceable through the three-ring circus that is a TV reality show? Bad enough Lisa Lopes and Michael Hutchence being demeaned in this way, but now Janis Joplin is being dug and thrown around. Ironically, the band of which she was once a member, and who are looking for a new singer via a telly-gawk-off, are called Big Brother.

Janis Joplin's corpse was unavailable for comment due to excessive rotation.
