In Memory of the Ugly People

Flags all over Provo were at half mast today in honor of Camille Cleverly, whose body was found at Bridal Veil Falls yesterday. Last night eleven hundred people held a candlelit memorial for her at the Miller Field stadium; I wonder how many of them even knew Camille.

They don't know that two BYU students died last week. Freshman David F. Anderson II's roommates found him dead in his apartment on the third day of classes, the day that Camille hit the one-week-missing mark. David's dad drove into Fairport, New York after dropping his son off for his first year at college, and his first visitor was his bishop, there to tell him that his son was dead. But the poor kid had the misfortune to die six days after a 110-pound blonde, so no one cares. Well, no one in Provo cares: Says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, "Police in Provo are not handling the investigation, according to a dispatcher. Campus officials could not immediately be reached for comment." I bet Provo and BYU police were too busy searching for Camille. We only care about pretty people.
