Carey, whose legs have just been insured for $1 billion, is said to be relieved. The announcement of the amount the star's legs had been insured for is what triggered the attempted crime in the first place. The thieves had allegedly intended to take the legs from Carey and then ransom them back for half a billion. In the worst case situation they had made contingency plans to just take a bit of thigh or calf, which is still worth several million.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mooky.net/uploaded_images/mariah-712209.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.mooky.net/uploaded_images/mariah-710933.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Of course the crime has raised a number of issues that are extremely relevant in today's world of glamour and legs. At the end of the day who would really have been hurt by this crime? Carey, who is predominantly made from plastic and jelly, would probably have been oblivious to the whole thing. Her business people would've made sure she got the insurance cash as well. So would the insurance company have been the real victim? Well, if so, who gives a chud?<br /><br />One school of thought is that Carey's career would've benefitted massively if her legs had been stolen. "Look at that gold digger Heather Mills," one non existent individual didn't comment. "She only lost one leg and she's hundreds of millions better off without any insurance."<br />The mind boggles at the injustice of some of it.Damohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06598708262403126071noreply@blogger.com
