Larsen B Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I think the use of "snowball" in the title was a bit sensationalistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarkJDelaney Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 It was a ball of snow though. I don't think there could have been a more fitting description, I hardly think they used "snowball" to capture people's attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Nice attempt at emotional manipulation there.No attempt at emotional manipulation, simply put: this is a real tragedy, involving real people, not a fucking Simpsons episode.I mean Jesus Fucking Christ, what the hell does it take for people to realise that a child dying is not in the least bit fucking amusing?

For instance I'm reading a book at the moment based on a website called the Darwin awards. It is a collection of silly ways that people have died, but it is very much a humour book. It does not mean that I'm a heartless prick just cause I'm reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 i agree in some respects that humour can help people through a personal tragedy, but there is a big difference between using humour in a tragedy which affects you and laughing at someone else's tragedy.Darwin awards are not, in my opinion comparable, because they tend to be extremely stupid and contrived forms of death, more often than not where the individual really should have known better.A ten year old child being crushed to death while playing with a friend is not comparable to anything in the Darwin Awards.

?uestlove Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 i live in torphins, the sickest thing i've seen was monday at the primary school that the kid attended. fuckin arsehole journalists and general media pigs. i dont think anyone could be more insesnsetive, these kids are so young and to witness a their classmate or whatever suddenyl lose his life must be so so hellish. then to have some greasy fuckwit of a reporter pretend his or her blackend swingin brick of a heart goes out to the kids here in torph. or to have cameras stuffed into their faces. The staff (including my own momma) had a shit enough time as it was, without the kids gettin upset cos of the media bastards.such a shame, the guy was a tenth of the way through his life.thoughts to the families eh?

Invisible Lead Soup Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Fucking hell. The scourge of political correctness strikes again (Directed at whom I wonder? Hrrm...) A tragedy none-the-less, the event itself is out of the ordinary and can be interpreted as being mildly amusing. I don't necesserally find it amusing, but I can see why some might.Once again a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of Communism.Stop whining, and grow a spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 there's nothing politically correct about finding the amusement directed toward the death of a child to be sickening.I think they call it morality.If laughing about the death of a child in any circumstance is what constitutes being cool these days, I'm glad I'm not.
