Is it a genuine interest? ...fascination? ..voyeurism? ..concern?
I'm not sure what it is when so many people want updates on the beached whales at Skegness. Then you have those that decide that writing 'CND' or similar on the carcass is a good idea - good advertising for little cost, although how displaying an anti-war symbol on a dead whale pans out with the general public would be worth analysis.
The local BBC radio station managed to have one of their breakfast show presenters presenting from the beach on the day after it happened - I'd like to know if he stayed out there for full 3 hours of his show, and yesterday morning after the whales had been pushed and winched aboard lorries bound for a landfill in Sheffield, it was announced that we could watch the full ordeal via a link at the radio website.
A few locals were interviewed about their 'thoughts' on the subject. What a absolute waste of airtime.
