Nero Fiddled, Karen Went Shopping

It is often said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned, when in fact, history says otherwise. Besides, the bloody cacophonous-racket inducing concoction of wood and string had not even been invented at the time.

But history is replete with examples of people who have failed to care for those in their charge and Karen "I didn't do it" Matthews is a current example.

Despite her little daughter going missing during a trip home, causing a massive man-hunt the like of which had not been seen in years, Karen (the BBC reports) actually went shopping for a Sat Nav. Maybe she needed some help locating little Shannon (who, it was later revealed, was actually drugged and held hostage at her uncle's flat)?

As of this writing, the evidence so far release suggest that Karen (despite her tears on national television) knew precisely what was going on and the whole thing was an ill thought-out scam to extort millions from public good-will.

It's amazing how fast that evaporated when the little child was found alive and reasonably well: physically at any rate.

Nero might have looked on while Rome burnt, but I can imagine a lot of people would like to watch Karen "Whadaya mean, me boyfriend's a pedo?" Matthews suffer a similar fate. As it is, she'll probably end up some bull dyke's bitch in prison.

How can a bitch be someone's bitch anyway?
