Media hysteria

[far_beyond_sane]

Read this article (http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/two-lives-destroyed-in-a-gothic-tragedy/2005/10/25/1130239521790.html) and contemplate the author - I'll go middle-aged, haemorrhoids, blotchy legs, two ugly kids with bowel control difficulties and the prevailing idea that 'subculture' is something that midgets have when they hang out.

Hereafter? Is that what the afterlife is called now? It's amazing how the word "gothic" nowadays is getting a double meaning.

About the author, I think he's just your average reporter.:p Fucking blind.

[TheDreadfulHoroscope]

where did you get the ugly kids with bowel control difficulties???

[powersofterror]

I'm assuming that he means the guy doesn't have any, or is ignorant on the subject of, teenagers--like he's only got kids that aren't potty trained yet.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is a killer fucking article.
"Heavy metal bands Marilyin Manson and Korn" :rofl:
"Heavy Goths" :rofl:
I wonder if heavy goths are the fat ones.
Here's a heavy goth in all his/hers glory, (what the fuck gender is this thing?)

Hahahahaha I sent that picture to a bunch of friends and they dubbed him "Lardy McEvil". He's our unofficial mascot.

By the way, the alleged journalist is a woman.

[powersofterror]

:rolleyes:oops.

[Pandemonium]

Haha, Nightwish sucks.

[brainsforbreakfast]

damn yeah, would they ever stop calling those bands "heavy metal"?

and just because someone wears black makeup and clothes doesn't mean their intrested in "magic" and "wicca".

She said that people who cut themselves are stupid because they don't do it deep enough. They just want attention.

Hehe, I agree on that. But suicide is stupid. She was what, 15? If your life is fucking pain and there is no way to solve that, okay, but at that young an age? She was either gullible, or too angsty.

[Infinity]

What a joke.

[Dahmers Fridge]

Yeah it must be down to the liking of heavy metal :rolleyes: lets not look at the fact the lad witnessed a murder which on two occasions was wrongfully charged with and the lass had run away from home and regularly skipped school! Kids with problems? Nooooooooo they have a Mazza Manson cd that's why they did it :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[fatdanny]

[Rapture]

Well, believe it or not this old girl had her black outfits that looked a bit like something from the Victorian era when she was lost without her heartthrob back in high school. That's a really emotional time so I can see that. It's just more common and accepted as a thing to do nowadays even if it is pretty nuts. Maybe if their situations in life had been different they wouldn't have done what they did. They got pulled into a place where they felt accepted and it wasn't a good place. It happens. It's sad.
