That's where we disagree. Sensationalist, yes. Feeding a death fetish, no.

It's good that we can disagree like gentlemen.
By the way, I know you don't believe I'm a photographer...can I send you a link to my work in a private message?

I suppose it's only near death but I still wonder why we need the video...

i like how the DM pixelated a picture of the top of Evan Rachel Woods bum the other day, but showing this poor guy's horrible wounds just before he dies without a warning or pixelation is fine!

It's snuff Monday in your super soaraway DM:

Handcuffed, blindfolded and shot in the back of the head: Taliban releases horrific video of executions of 15 Pakistani soldiers

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... diers.html


And as an added bonus, the DM brings you an autistic 11 year old getting a beating:

Parents' anguish over shocking video of autistic son, 11, being beaten at school bus stop

Now for the tragedy tourists: Costa Concordia island besieged by hundreds of daytrippers eager to see wrecked cruise ship

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... z1kH2X7eCR

No images of death here but I thought, as this thread has reached 21 pages, this would be an appropriate place to highlight the rank hypocrisy of a paper that openly courts the online equivalent of the tragedy tourist.

The DM did have a full length video of an (alleged) rape on Brazilian Big Brother, which was up on their site for several hours before taking it down.

Seems even DM readers have limits..

Horror on the slopes: Professional racer dies after crashing into safety nets at high speed during ski-cross World Cup

So horrific you get shown a picture of his broken corpse. Total voyeurism.

Inside the kidnappers' lair: Chilling scenes show bloodied, filthy Nigerian house where British and Italian hostages were executed

I think we could have done without the blood-stained toilet, given the widespread reporting of the fact that the men were executed there. Hence, the blood is almost certainly theirs. I think it is safe to assume that at least some of their loved ones will be looking through media coverage of this event in a bid to piece together some meaning here. Would seeing this photo be good for them? I don't think so.

Not seen this thread in a while, but I'm not sure what's more mental... Shooting someone armed with a pipe, or the fact the guys filming it think its funny
