"today a 20 year old male was found dead after he had hung himself upside down, bonged 1 liter of vodka into his anus, and then proceeded to put a 15 foot boa into his anus!"

Ordinary person's death's (or disappearances) making national news in the past week:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/27/riley.sketch/index.html
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313101,00.html
Let's not forget Nallaie Halloway and JonBenet Ramsey and Laci Peterson.Then there was that missing girl in Portugal about three weeks ago.
They all made national news and they were no name people

Small white child. Such images bring about sympathy and that's why they sell in news media.
Take an ugly loser dude who works at McDogfood's and who gets run over by a car and see if the news media cares.

Here's a small ordinary BLACK child that made national news a month ago.

Besides.. you just proved my point. Yea one of those links was a small white child. A small white NON famous child. And people gave a shit about it even though she wasn't famous.
Thank you for proving me RIGHT.

That black kid's death was reported because of the whole "superbug" vibe in it.
Media reports shit that will sell. Famous people dying sells. Pretty people disappearing sells. Freaky weird stuff killing somebody will sell.
Boring stuff happening to boring people doesn't sell.

I don't know.. Jon Benet and Natalie Halloway were pretty boring to me... they weren't famous before they got killed put people seemed to care once they did. I doubt it was just because they were white.
If you're defning "what people give a shit about" as "what sells in the media".. well there you have it.. two ordinary people who people decided to give a shit about being given just as much attention as a killed NFL star.
People gave a shit about these two ordinary people.
Although I WILl give you this... I doubt I'd see anyone on the shroomery post a "RIP Natalie Halloway" thread.

Jon Benet - Pretty and white beauty queen from a well-to-do family abused and murdered in a sensational way. The parents were suspects making it even more salacious and interesting. This story was almost tailor-made for the media.
Natalie Holloway - Pretty blonde girl from well-to-do family disappears while on vacation in beautiful paradise.
Again I ask, what would happen if some fat and balding nobody who worked at McDonald's and who lived in a trailor park disappeared? Would it cause a media sensation? Would it be all over the news? Would people care?

Regardless of what any of you clowns have to say otherwise....
RIP Sean Taylor #21 from the U. He always brightened up my weekend with the punishment he inflicted on opposing teams. He was a great athlete and more importantly was becoming a great man. I may not have known him but i assure you i will miss him.
And as far as dead little girls go who cares i never knew any of them bitches...fucking hippies

You don't think Redstorm has a handle on his point? You're ridiculous. I think his point was pretty clear, if you had a handle on reality and communication you would not need any further explanation.

I didnt read much of this post, and the part I did was pretty disturbing...
regardless of who is famous and who is not, a young father and a great athlete was shot and killed in his bed. My heart goes out to his family, his team, supporters and most of all his 1yr old daughter.
If you cant look past the damn media, and recognize a tragedy for what it is... i feel sorry for you. Doesn't matter if its an athlete, a singer or a McDonald's worker. If you have nothing nice to say about a situation like this you should really.. try not to speak.
RIP Sean Taylor - a hardcore Cowboys fan.
