I kick myself for not sending this in to David Letterman or Jay Leno - I was driving past a grocery store in Calgary a few years ago and on the promotional sign they had the following:

Hostess-Lays

Newspaper takes heat over haunting subway photo - CNN.com

It's not the newspaper that pisses me off. I think censorship is ridiculous, and news companies should be free to print whatever the fuck they want.

I am disgusted by the photographer. How do you not lend a hand to a man who is about to die that you could have saved? All to just be the one with your name on that grim photo.

Humanity sickens me.

saying the paper can do what they want and the photographer is at fault is pretty contradicting to me. free will lets that photographer do what he wants but it all pisses me off

the title
the picture
the non action by ANYONE

human nature sickens me some days and this is one of them. free speech and censorship talk is way too convenient to use nowadays when is enough enough. I think this would be a nice start. this man had a family I would fucking lose my mind if my father/brother/friend was shown like this. I mean fucking SNAP. maybe our society needs a little more censorship and control.

People like awful news... It's what sells. Had the headline been, photographer saves man pushed onto train tracks, it would have been celebrated for a day. This will get dragged out for weeks, and it is free publicity for the newspaper and the photographer. It is sickening.

I don't find it to be contradicting. The man is free to help or not. I was just making the point that the lack of compassion for your fellow man in this world is just, for the twentieth time, sickening.

People don't value life as a whole (meaning others as well as their own), they're just selfish.

True... I didn't even think of it from that POV. We live in a fucked up world. Disheartening.

Yep. The only reason they are still relevant is because of the publics fascination with "reality" TV and the lifestyle of people "above them" (in wealth). It's fucking ridiculous. I don't give a fuck if they're a trillionaire, they're no better than me or you.

I saw the "breaking news" yesterday and just laughed.

"KATES WEIGHT" ... (voice over) "how much weight will she gain"
