let's all get a little perspective here, please.

So, after I get home from derby practice tonight, I'm watching part of the endless coverage of the tragedy at Virginia Tech. The suave reporter-guy is interviewing a woman who works for the college and she is going on and on about how shocking and awful and horrible and mortifying this has been. When she pauses, from emotion or whatever, the reporter-guy, grasping for stuff to says, mentions how this tragedy has been "compounded" by the cold weather hitting the area.

Yes, reporter-guy, the fact that you're standing out in the nipple-y weather in your fucking overcoat and gloves makes it SO much worse. I'm certain that the families of those killed are going to stop being so fucking selfish and pray for you for a minute. Ass.
