That some go overboard in adulation is not a reason for trashing
a person...

If deaths like JFK Jr.'s and Diana's were simply treated as any other fatal accident was, nobody would bother making tasteless jokes about them. When the adulation turns the whole affair into a circus and a farce, it's hard to resist the opportunity to underscore the dumbness of it all.

Why try to turn perfectly ordinary people into mythic figures? All we do when we try is make them look ridiculous, and when we do, people are going to laugh.
