My point was that it's kinda dumb to pick out random people who have died and publicize them, when there are millions of others every day. I understand there may be a reason for showing specific victims, but overall, it's just kinda dumb.

Yea I guess. I've always been weary of why the media picks out random no-name people like Natalie Halloway.

I think part of it has to do with the parents and loved ones busting their chops to get as much media attention as they could like Halloway's mom.

If I were a parent and my child went missing somewhere and the authorities weren't doing shit, I'd do the best I possibly could to attract as much media attention as possible which wold force the authorities to act.

Yeah, and lots of people were sad when Jerry Garcia died just because he played shitty music. Right?

Wait a second here. I thought there was something hypocritical about your post, but I couldn't figure out what it was at first.

Then I realized it was because you said (quoted verbatim):

Quote:

Penguarky Tunguin said:
Goddamn tragedy.  :sad:




in response to Darrent Williams' shooting.

Hmmm, could it be that you were emotionally attached for a player on your hometown team? Could it be perhaps the same feeling that Redskin fans are feeling? Not so much of a cold-hearted bastard when your own players die, are you?

Who cares. I mean I would only care if I liked the Redskins. I don't so in a way its good for every other team. People die every day so some dude who makes mad bank for a game dying is no big deal to me. In my mind he did not deserve all that cash for playing a game. Now if a scientist researching a cure for a disease dies now THAT is a tragedy. But a sports player?? Come on there are better things to shed tears over than a spolied, most likely ignorant and dumb(yes I am judging) waste of life.

amen.

Jerry was nothing but a celebrity who provided entertainment as well.

Wouldn't it be cool if all the newspapers and news channels talked about how some normal, average, everyday, non-special, and boring guy got killed?

Not sure if you were serious or sarcastic, but.....That would be awesome! I would rather hear about some guy I never knew than a famous person. Famous people are already known. But you can learn the unknown guys story and the sympathy will flow after that.

But honestly I think they should talk about more scientists/researchers deaths...I mean they are the biggest unsung heroes around.

The should talk about deaths that occur is freakish or odd ways. Now that would be entertainment.
