Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened Friday: - GoFuckYourself.com

Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened Friday :

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

Right on the money. FUCK FOX NEWS!!!!

According to Snopes, there has yet to be a single documented source attributing that quote to Morgan Freeman.

That said, does it make the words any less true?

He would have said it if he had thought of it - That's what counts.

Doesn't matter if he said it because what matters is everyone thinking of it spoken in his voice which is Shakespearean, resonant, and authoritative... plus he played G_d in a movie once.

So true. Read it as if written by Gilbert Gottfried and it comes off as a cynical comedic rant. The power of the written voice is huge... and that's what makes quality writing so valuable fortunately.

The guy even specifically mentions CNN and you single out Fox News? lol, it's not just Fox, it's ALL OF THEM. They are all on the same agenda. Get a clue...

Rochard · 12-16-2012, 09:03 PM

I couldn't tell you any of the shooters names except for this most recent one, and I will forget his name by next week.

LOL. The piece was a hoax. The problem is Darwin's Natural Selection has been thwarted by sick ideologies and global corporations to produce a nation of dimfucks.

As far as general sanity goes you are somewhat sane

But someone that is having issues and thinking these types of things, will be looking to be important and this could be exactly whats going on.

Evil Chris · 12-17-2012, 10:07 AM

I watched Shawshank over the weekend. What an excellent movie.

blackmonsters · 12-17-2012, 10:11 AM

Yeah, but the news media is like Google : It's not their fault that people want to see the tubes.

Ok Morgan Freeman, let's do the same thing with Hitler and the jews, Hitler was such an attention whore...

/irony

also the logic that claims that they wanted to be famous is flawed: this is what you project on these murderers

(this is perhaps true with lucas magnota, because of his bahavior)

You never struck me as someone that would let facts get in the way of a good story, so no surprise here.
