and while people kill each other in wars worldwide....LiveJournal remembers what's Important.

Holy moly, I've seen more people cover Steve Irwin's death in posts on my FList (over 8 so far) in the past hour that it's disturbing (though I feel bad for his wife and two children, it's not like they will be penniless / without support / etc.) I'm sure the news in Australia will make it a headline on all the news stations even as we send illegal immigrants offshore to live in harsh conditions, even as we ignore the Australian Aboriginals who continue to live in fourth world - yes, fourth world - conditions.

Is this world skewed, or what?

I reckon the war of terror would get more coverage if everyone started killing each other with stingray barbs instead of bombs. *cough cough*

Wow I noticed a bunch of entries from everyone this morning too, but Im not making one because I totally agree with you.
And people wonder why terrorists do what they do. Its a freaking plea to be heard (sometimes).
It is all skewed, isnt it? Very sad.

It IS skewed. I don't hate Steve Irwin, I just had no time for him, like most Australians. But to see it being covered so fervently, *everywhere*, I find truly disturbing.

If people just created an over-excited gimmick, it's like they'll get far more fame than others. :/
