What is this all this moaning about how "graphic," and "shocking" and "disturbing" the photos of the people falling off the World Trade Center are, and how we "shouldn't show these images" on teevee or on the internet or anywhere, because it is all somehow "too upsetting." What utter b.s. I don't remember all this fussing and fuming last year. Why is it suddenly too disturbing now?
Update: LOOK. REMEMBER. Or don't. You don't have to click.

No shit. That's why they should be broadcast more often.

Posted by: Bob Whaley at September 13, 2003 at 01:54 PMI just wonder whether these idjits who talk about the pictures being "shocking" and "disturbing" are still finding the actions that caused the photographs "shocking" and "disturbing"?
Or do they find them "understandable, in light of past American actions," or "casuing us to question why we are so hated" yadda yadda yadda?
