I haven't been on here much lately as visiting the Mail's website makes my blood pressure soar...and that's genuine.
My wife carried out an experiment...she put the cuff on me 3 days running and took measurements before and after I'd browsed the Mail....Typically, my BP was jumping from 120/80 to around 160/95
At 63 with left sided heart failure I only dare go there once or twice a year now.

Although I've seen and dealt with more than my fair share of dead bodies, I found some of those pictures incredibly sad.

The Victorians were fond of taking pictures of the dead, especially children.

As Esqui says, though, there may be a useful purpose in this particular instance.
I don't think for one second that they put them up for anything other than clicks, with perhaps a side order of Dirty Muzzies.Safe_Timber_Man wrote:I think people should have the choice, they shouldn't be in your face the second you go onto MailOnline. That said, it's important people know what's going on. If I believed the Mail put them up for the right reasons rather than for shock value, I'd begrudgingly accept it.
