We love tragedy

Why is our country so infatuated with every single tragedy that happens? I feel bad these things happen, but these stories go on so long and there are about a million results when you search for them on Google. Type in West Virginia Mine Accident and see how many are on there. Next will be the movie, then T-shirts will be sold, buttons, flyers, hats....we go so over board when this happens. Even a national event like the World Series or the Superbowl don't get this much media attention. We are just so pressed for stories that are tragic.

They made a movie in the early 90's that was about that Texas Cheerleading thing. Up until I decided to watch it, I always thought that the mother actually killed the other cheerleader. Turns out she was crazy and threatened to kill her. Then she went to jail. I wasted two hours of my life watching that. They recently made a movie about the Columbine tragedy. It's on lifetime if you really want to catch it.

We need more sucess stories in life. Ellen? Seinfeld? Homer Simpson? Just like the documentary "Private Parts" that Howard Stern made.
