Do you think the news media is becoming increasingly sensationalist trying to satisfy our desire for violence and car-crash horror? We all (most of us) slow down when we see accidents just to see the dead bodies. I bet everyone here opened up those links even tho we all knew they were gonna be sick images. I dont think its a question of right or wrong on part of NY Times. They were giving us what we want. Most of us when we heard the news reports wanted to see graphic pictures (i know i did), if only to be repulsed properly. To have something more concrete to be repulsed at maybe. I dont understand the collective desire to be censored cos we can't control our urges - and cos they conflict with some other morality. (very Nietzche). Personally i want to be able to see the worst of humanity and come to terms with it. I want to see what those kids who threw rocks at the bodies saw. But them i'm twisted like that.
