Let's not forget Columbine to this list.
Though tragic and unbelievable as it was, the "as it happens" news footage
and video feed was certainly more appalling, shocking and bloody than
anything I've ever seen on TV.
Sadly the event was "real" thus seemingly making it "OK" to televise, still
...my point is made.
As a pop culture in the making or a freaky "news addicted country" what is
it we are truly offended by? Janet's boob, Howard Stern or Columbine
footage. I don't get it.
It seems the measuring stick for"offense" is broken somehow.
