Something I'd like to point out

All you folks burning up the net looking at decapitations and such aren't helping support the notion that America isn't like that.

It's voyeurism, pure and simple. Yes, there is outrage when people see the video, but people want to see it because it's a version of splatter porn. I wish that weren't the case, but it is.

Didn't think of that when I posted the link for reference. Just to be extra clear, the last part is a quote from Oliver not me.

You want to know the truth, all this hosting of the video came up after Wizbang nailed 300K hits for it.

Not only is it traffic whoring, it's traffic whoring that I can't afford.
