As a matter of fact, I feel very little sympathy at all for people who commit suicide. I'll probably watch this just to see what kind of media attention she gets, but I won't be upset if she does kill herself. At least then we'd at least feel like she followed through on a threat. It seems like nine times out of ten, any "threat" like this is for attention or sympathy, so it'll be a good message to would-be threat-makers; "If you're going to threaten to kill yourself, at least have the decency to follow through with it."

I'd be willing bet she's made a bet with someone to see if she could get a ton of attention and how long it would take to end up on CNN et el.
