Macho Man death crash photo: wrestling tragedy.

Publication: Globe
Date: 6 June 2011

The target market for the Globe and the low rent Examiner watch a lot of TV, so it's no surprise that they would have Macho Man Randy Savage on the cover after his untimely death in a car crash.

Given that it's the Globe, it's also no surprise that they would morbidly publish a photo of the crash.

Stay classy, Globe.


Joplin, Missouri. Heartbreak and hope.

Publication: People
Date: 6 June 2011

Once again, People magazine distinguishes itself from the rest of the supermarket rags with a story about the awful damage done by the tornado in Joplin, Missouri. Like in all disasters, there are parts of the affected town that are completely unaffected, but this aerial shot of the long dirty brown swath surrounded by areas with greenery gives a very good idea of just how bad this tornado was.

If you have a couple of nickels to rub together, find it in your heart to send something to a reputable disaster relief fund, won't you?
