The biggest obsurdity occurred on Saturday just before college football's New Mexico Bowl, pitting Nevada against Arizona.
Just before the game started, the announcers told us they would NOT refer to Nevada's high-powered offensive formation as the "pistol" - even though that's what it's named. They said for this game, they would just refer to it as the "Nevada" formation.
Sheer lunacy.
I agree with you.
There is no minimizing the absolute horror and tragedy of the incident in Connecticut. But the coverage has crossed over into territory that makes me feel a bit uneasy. It almost seems as though people (and I don’t mean Freepers) enjoy wallowing in incidents like this.
Schools in my area are offering counseling for kids who are traumatized by this incident. I admit, I don’t get that. When I was a kid, we would have felt disconnected from an incident that happened far away, and no one would have thought about giving or receiving “counseling.”
Fox News has unending coverage of the police investigation, along with its specially composed tragic theme music it plays before every update. Investigation of what? The murderer was a lunatic, he’s dead, there’s no one to prosecute. The solution is simple-—lock up nutcases and arm teachers.
The response to this kind of thing indicates the culture has been feminized.
It was a horrible tragedy, but they are going to milk this for ll it is worth. It is disgraceful.
Gotta agree with that.
I have turned off my television since Friday. Every time I gather up the nerve to turn it on again, once again I am bombarded with propaganda.
Cover the story sure, but this is absolutely crazy.
