1. Make a map of the US and insert any number of pushpins
Odds are something is festering in some psychotic idiot's mind right now.

2. This will be hard to top. Mailing it BETWEEN murder sprees? That
takes the cake. The next person will have to stream the whole thing live.

4. I don't know - Sci Fi writers and futurists have been predicting this development
since the 70s at least. I don't know if there as many crazy violent people as we think.

But I guess we'll find out.

9. There are enough blood sucking cable news networks
out there that would not think twice about showing these things, so we are bound to get a few more.

10. I CANNOT BELIEVE the media is being so irresponsible as to
push this guy's "Last Action Hero" poses over the airwaves.

Completely, grossly, irresponsible giving this guy such a stage.

11. The hardest is being Psycho
The guns are easy to get (thanks NRA and Wayne you Psycho) and the Media is all to willing...so all you need is the mental state.

12. But, everytime MSNBC shows the pictures or plays the video ...
... they preface it with a statment about how responisble they are and how they agonized over the decision to go ahead and go for the ratings.

13. Just in time
to compete with the latest epic from Quentin Tarantino ("Grindhouse") now playing at a theater near you. Violence in society as presented in the media has - despite all their sanctimonious protestations - become just another form of entertainment, crammed in between the commercials.

14. Sandwiched in between
The killer movie ads and bloody TV shows was news of a murder.
