Also, the problem with "how our culture now processes its tragedies" is that it doesn't. People's first reaction isn't to try and make sense of a shitty situation.

There was an XFL player who wanted tips about anal probes and implants written on the back of his jersey?

George Clooney and John Travolta?

Actually, C. Thomas Howell is looking rather frightening himself as of late. Give him a handful of those tanning pills…he's scaring the dead!
