Selling death


Whenever it crosses my mind I might die, I try to evaluate how many cute girls may die too, and this is how I gauge how big a tragedy it will be.
When groups of people die though, the news always says something like: “Twelve people died, including 4 children”. What does that mean? Children are more valuable than adults?
I think it’s not fair; the papers should get some perspective.

A quote from a friend who happens to use the same unit of value, "I hate it when bad things happens to hot women".

Jananese news anchor often says like "XXX tourists died, including no Japanese..."
I feel something is wrong.

hmmm . . . perhaps something like, "437 men, women and children met their mortality as the earth opened up and swallowed their useless souls. Dominic Harvey, however, is still among us. all is as it should be."

Yes! I hear that too on British radio: "25 people died including 4 English tourists...". I always feel sorry for the others that didn't get mentioned.
