Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

What are the handles attached to?

edit: I agree with you, OP

Is ridiculous.

For weeks, and sometimes months, mass killers are raised to high levels of infamy and notoriety, exactly what they wanted.

News organisations pretty much say to would-be killers "Hey, go on, kill a bunch of people and we'll make you famous"

Hundreds of ludicrous news reports, childhood photographs and analyses by "psychiatric professionals" are published after a tragedy like this happens.

This mindless sensationalism exists only to sell papers, with little thought of the lasting impact.

When events like this happen, the media should report it, and move on, rather than go fishing for all the little details about the killer they can find.


They do this all the time for international disasters, but they do it so quietly that you don't even notice it.

When a disaster happens in said news shows' country, however . .

Yea but if they reportd these killings as just another day on earth, (because we're all affected by media propoganda), then we'd become so desensitised, ya dig?

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Aren't we already desensitized?

I mean, there isn't a lot of media coverage for the 100 deaths by car crashes a day in the us.
We also don't see a lot of coverage for the 16 000 children who die of starvation each day, or the 3 civilian causalities per day in Iraq.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

Agreed, I'm starting think people do these mass shooting because they know they'll become an infamous legend after death.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

It's news. Their job is to inform us of news. Their job is to inform us of it.

I don't think we are. You hear about these fatalities all over the world, but theyre just numbers. Im sure americans would feel these killings are very close to home.

I think that we're very used to how TV portrays death, rather than the reality.
