I was just at Philly.com and noticed that what is now being dubbed a "saga" is still making the main page. I was about to post my own rant and was pleasantly surprised to find this one already posted. I feel like the Inquirer is desparately trying to get the national media to pick this up. What they don't understand is that there is nothing remotely unusual or interesting about these two people. They don't possess any of the qualities required to become a national headline. Maybe if we found a few heads in the trunk of their car, but as it stands they're never going to be a Ramsey, a Bobbit, or a Tanya Harding. They're nothing more than two dimensional characters who ripped off their neighbors. Nothing sensational at all.
