My guess it's for the same reason people slow down to look at very bad car wrecks along the highways...backing up traffic for miles and miles.
Perhaps it gives a momentary sigh of relief that it's "lucky it's not me".
That's my best guess.
Curious? Needing to feel "lucky"?
I wonder what penguins think about when they slide back up onto the ice after a leopard seal picks off Aunt Tilda on her way back from the "krill fest" all-ya-can-eat buffet. Is it "Boy! am I ever lucky today!"?
Some things keep me questioning.
I'm sure there are answers....somewhere.

You hit on a lot of it I think! Jerry's response...that we have a right to know about their personal lives because they are "public" figures seems to be the prevailing view...sad!
