Dear Media,

Please stop covering Virginia Tech. These people had suffered enough before you even started sucking from the vein. Just stop. It isn't even news anymore. And stop running that crazy fuckers picture on TV. Don't you know that "covering" his manifesto is rewarding him in death for what he did? And you wonder why there are so many copycat crimes. Shit there were two bomb threats in my town just this morning.

*sigh*

We should check to see if anyone in Baghdad feels sorry for us.

Amen.

And since we're on the subject: Media, stop being so hypocritical and shocked about Don Imus. He's been paid money for decades for slagging on people, and you could pick any number of things he's said for years that are wildly offensive.

We paid Mike Tyson millions to beat the holy sh!t out of people, then are surprised at his savagery when he bites a chunk of Holyfield's ear. Please.

Our tittilation addiction goes both ways.

I get so sick and tired of all the "sensational" crap the media crams down our throat.

While stories are newsworthy, many are not. Why was Anna Nicole Smith, Terry Schiavo, and Laci Peterson front page news? Two weeks after Princess Dianna died, Mother Theresa passed away, yet she was on page 11 of the newspaper, Princess Di was still on the front page.

Great, now we got a whack job at a Nasa facility. Apparently the anniversary is some sort of holiday for Darwin candidates with guns. Guess what, it's all over the friggin news!

Let's see, I'm unhappy and angry at my coworkers and no one cares and no one listens to me and I'm a little mental to boot. What can i do to get a lot of attention? Maybe I should flip on the news and brainstorm.

Sender: KU Public Safety

Subject: Important public safety notice to campus

To University of Kansas staff, students and visitors
From: Ralph Oliver, director of public safety

This is to notify you that the university today received a non-specific bomb threat. The threat is generic and non-specific and does not warrant any evacuation of buildings or campus. However, I am informing campus and asking you to report any suspicious packages or activities on or around campus to the Office of Public Safety at 864-5900 or dial 911.

A university employee opened an email containing the threat at 1:57 p.m. today. The email had been sent to the employee at 6:10 a.m. today and alleged four pipe bombs were placed somewhere on or around campus. The employee immediately notified Public Safety. Authorities are now investigating the incident. No more information on the source of the email is available at this time.

We are notifying the entire campus due to the current heightened sensitivity regarding campus safety.

I wonder how this happened. Again.

ALERT! ALERT!! WE ARE POSSIBLY AT TERROR ALERT "OMFG RED!!"! PLEASE RUN AMOK, WRING YOUR HANDS IN DESPAIR, AND PULL YOUR HAIR OUT!!

I had read a story the other day how Yale officials banned the use of prop weapons in school produced plays.

They later reversed the ban, but one of the drama teams productions, "Red Noses" (it takes place in the middle ages) was grudgingly allowed to use "obviously fake wooden swords" instead of the metal ones they normally would have.

Over reaction at it's best!

My very first day at Software Spectrum, I was in a conference room with a couple other noobs watching the orientation video, about how Spectrum leverages sales enterprise robust turnkey synergy solution oriented...

As this went on, I was watching out the window, and the parking lot was filling full of people.

"Uh, Jennifer (Dunham) what's... what's going on there."

"Oh, I... I don't know."

Just then I.T. Mark popped his head into the conference room and said "What are you guys still doing in here? There's a bomb threat."

I didn't feel in danger or anything, and I don't believe I actually said this out loud, but my reply was, "Oh, let me tie my shoes then."

Turns out, while the threat was specific to the location, it wasn't credible as they said that it was in the basement.

This happened several times before, when I worked at Egghead.

When the government outlaws swords, only thespians will have swords.

SLEEP TIGHT.

I used to be a receptionist at a *major* investment bank in San Francisco. We had bomb threats like, every other month. No one batted an eyelash. It was treated like a joke. Of course, it was in a building where some bad things had previously happened, so maybe the area was jaded to mass violence.
