MCR is not an excuse for suicide
This entry was posted on May 8, 2008
Earlier today I received an email from my best friend linking me to an article from the Daily Mail, a popular British tabloid newspaper. The title of the article was a typical tabloid article - exaggerated to make a point and attract attention.
“Girl, 13, hangs herself after becoming obsessed with Emo ’suicide cult’ rock band.”
A 13-year-old girl hung herself? That’s horrible! I’m definitely going to read about that. Like most of the general public, I love reading about death and destruction in the newspapers. But, wait, she was obsessed an emo rock band? That’s even better! Wait, there’s more? This band has a suicide cult? That seems kind of dangerous. 13-year-olds shouldn’t be involved in suicide cults.
