punchworthy

A blog whereby I motivate myself, and my readers, to punch me in the mouth.

unspeakable horror

Okay, so.. if it's such an "unspeakable horror".. here's an idea:

STOP SPEAKING ABOUT IT.

No, of course I'm not suggesting that we bury this thing and never deal with it. Dialogue is good. People need to talk in order to heal. But don't you think that having a two-hour multimedia blabberfest on the day of the incident--before families have even been notified that their children have been killed--is just inappropriate?

And don't you think that turning human tragedy into a platform for your political and social agendas actually takes away from the gravity of the situation? Don't you think that comparing it to every other even slightly similar occurrence reduces it.. packages it.. makes it less than what it really is?

How ironic is it, that by erecting the big top, you overshadow the actual event?

Are you proud that you got to be there on the day of this historic happening? Will you publish it among your memoirs? Did the other talking heads sign your autograph book? Did you get the commemorative T-shirt?

Shut up. With your unspeakable horrors. Shut up and leave everybody alone.

And why call it "unthinkable" only to, in the same breath, question why the officials weren't able to think ahead of the killer and stop it all from happening . . . oh, that media
