What's with these stories never giving the name of the person involved in the text, if not in the headline?

Because it's entirely possible that the family hasn't been notified yet, and every decent news agency out there has a policy of never releasing names of deceased until the family has been alerted?

Look man, I've been sitting through dozens of pages of 'Don't care about Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown! Look at these white kids who were killed that nobody cared about that I'm not gonna name! rilly makes u think hu?' so I'm a little skeptical of everything.

But now I know.

Dead weight, just like this post.



The best is someone IS named but when you actually reasearch it, turns out that nothing of importance happened because the people involved were quickly captured and prosecuted.

But because someone of X race was the one killed, you should be outraged!

Yep. This avoids the otherwise plausible scenario of a family watching the evening news and discovering that their son or daughter, who they thought was just out with friends and late for dinner, has been killed in a traffic accident. It would be a horrible way to discover a family tragedy, and so news agencies don't do it.

Usually on broadcasts, they'll say something like "Names are being withheld until the police can notify the victim's family".

News agencies will withhold the names of the recently deceased out of respect, but if a celebrity croaks you can bet your bottom dollar that house will be surrounded by cameramen and helicopters for weeks despite the wishes of the family for peace and quiet.

News is a strange business.

Way ahead of you. My friends' reactions to the Money Face have been revulsion and fear mixed with hilarity. We've been hammering each other with nonsense ever since, like poorly-done photoshops:

Money face is from a tumblr post which had somewhere around 50,000 notes before it was posted here, so I would say it's already taken off a bit

No, but I guess she did? She's the one in pink, he's the one in blue. She says he made good on his promise and did block her.

I know this girl from high school and this post is 100% not ironic. Also she speaks like that in real life saying "died" instead of "dead" and "confuse" instead of "confused."

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.
