Perhaps anxious to get the best seat on the Anna Nicole Smith memorial bandwagon before the folks at E! trot out the entire run of the "Anna Nicole Show" as a fourteen volume special edition with an exclusive commentary track by Dame Judi Dench, Playboy is wasting no time hawking a three-DVD collection of every video in which she appeared as the "Anna Nicole Smith Collection"—because really, nothing says "We Remember" like a $22.49 shrinkwrapped collection of recycled material everyone's seen before. Still, it may be of interest for completist types out there, if not celebrity necrophiliacs—after all, no less an eminent sex authority as Dan Savage reminds everyone that it's really, really creepy to jerk off to naked dead people: "So long as she lived ... you lived—and whacked off—in hope. But masturbating to the dead inspires only feelings of hopelessness and despair. Which is why no one beats off to James Dean or River Phoenix or Marilyn Monroe or Mary Todd Lincoln without feeling a little creepy, a little hopeless, and a little closer to the grave himself." (Wait a second—who says no one jerks off to Mary Todd Lincoln? Speak for yourself, Dan!)
