Obsession meets reality

Hoarders are known for collecting things, but have you ever seen them hoard gold, china, fine art, or antiques? To me they seem like people who continually forget to take out the trash, and after a couple of years they become part of the trash themselves. To prove my point Billie Jean James of Las Vegas was missing for four months. Police searched the home several times using cadaver dogs who are specially trained to smell decomposing bodies. Eventually her husband Bill found Billie Jean's feet sticking out from under a pile of junk that reached from the floor to the ceiling. The garbage had become her tomb, a rotten microwave dinner box her headstone. When obsession meets reality there is a disaster in the making, or at the very least an exploitative new cable television show.
